SDF Workflow Permission Issues?

edited Jun 9, 2021 11:35PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 7 comments

I'm using the webstorm plugin to try to initialize a suiteapp project currently. I am grabbing pre-existing configuration from an account by grabbing all customization with a specific app id and importing it. I'm able to grab 24 out of 25 element without any issue but I cannot get a workflow due to permission issues:

"The following object(s) were not imported:
customworkflow_xx_xxxxxxxxx_xxxxxx - Permission Violation: You need a higher level of the 'Workflow' permission to access this page. Please contact your account administrator."

The only problem is that I'm using an SDF Developer role that I found spec'd out in a suiteanswer and it has the "Workflow" permission and there isn't any higher level there is "Full" or nothing. I can't use Administrator because netsuite requires 2FA authentication for admin roles in this account and you can't use SDF with that right now to my understanding.

Howdy, Stranger!
