When creating a new item the user cannot get to the initial edit page

You are trying to set-up a Plone site where authenticated users can create and submit content. You have set-up "Add portal content" and "Add XXX content type" permissions for your Authenticated/Member users. Still, users cannot add the content but get the following exception when trying creating an item:

Solution

You need to modify the workflow of the item. Your initial state probably gives edit/access permission to owner/manager only. Try adding access/modify permissions to Authenticated or Member users too.
