If Form entries are saved into an Object, email notification about Form submission is not sent

Issue

• We have created an Object and a Form.
• We save Form entries into the Object.
• When a Guest user submits the form, the notification is not sent out.
• We are getting the following error in the logs:

ERROR [http-nio-8080-exec-1254][DDMFormEmailNotificationSender:90] Unable to send form email
com.liferay.dynamic.data.mapping.exception.StorageException: com.liferay.portal.kernel.security.auth.PrincipalException$MustHavePermission: User 20095 must have VIEW permission for com.liferay.object.model.ObjectDefinition#38735 224152

Environment

• Quarterly Releases

 

Resolution

• This user (User 20095 but userID can be different) is the [e-mail] user.
• This account is used to represent Guest users when they upload files to Liferay.
• To resolve the issue, the following steps need to be taken:
   
  
  1. Navigate to Control Panel --> USERS --> Roles, find the Guest role and click on it, then click the "Define Permissions" tab.
  2. Search for the Object you created
  3. Click on it and from the right side, you will see the permissions
  4. Scroll down to the Resource Permissions section and check the box for "Add Object Entry" AND "View'
  5. Save the configuration
