Access denied. You do not have permission to perform this action or access this resource.

Error:

Access denied. You do not have permission to perform this action or access this resource.

(and)

<!-- #RENDER FAILED -->

Scenario: 

We have created a Custom List and added the list as a Web Part in the site's home page, grouped by 'Status' column. When the user approves an item under a Status 'Pending Cost Approval', the designer workflow will update the Status column to 'Cost Approved'. The order of action is

1. Select Approve/Reject menu for an item from the Web Part 

2. Select Approve, and click OK 

3. After approval, the page is redirected to the home page.

The issue is, when there is only one item in grouped under 'Pending Cost Approval' and since the item is getting moved to 'Cost Approval' status after approval, we are getting "Access denied. You do not have permission to perform this action or access this resource." error. No issues when there are more items in 'Pending Cost Approval' status. Attached the screen shot. Is there any workaround for this?

On different version of browser, we received 'Render failed' error.

Resolution

I'm able to resolve this issue with the following workaround.

Set the Groupings to Expanded in the view and add the following script in a content editor web part in the same page.

<script src="/Documents/jquery-1.8.2.min.js" type= "text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function collapseGroups() {
$("img[src='/_layouts/images/minus.gif']:visible").parent().click();
}

_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("collapseGroups");
</script>
