workflow approval access denied

I have a ticket that was submitted that has a workflow where the Requestor's manager has to approve the request.  In this case, the Requestor's manager only has a Client license (which my understanding is that this is not an issue).  In this case, though, when the manager tries to click on the button to approve the request, they are getting the message, Access Denied.  I thought that they might need to be logged into TDX when they try to approve, but they still got the Access Denied message even though they were logged in at the time.

What would explain them getting this message?

Hello Matthew,

I think I'd have to know more, like what is the link that was ultimately emailed to this requestor's Manager, and does that Manager user legitimately have access to the client portal that was in that URL?

Sincerely,

Actually that doesn't bring linked content across into the Feed here. Can you copy the link from the content that it's linked from and just paste it in here? - Mark Sayers Mon 3/20/23 1:00 PM

Ah ok that seems to have mostly obscured the link so I can't tell what it resolves to. - Mark Sayers Mon 3/20/23 1:24 PM
