A user might not be able to launch a process for the following reasons:

- The process in question might be in `In test` mode. If so, then only users who are assigned as process managers or have administrator profiles can launch requests of that process.

- The user might not be a requester of the process in question. Even if you are an administrator or process manager, you still must be part of the `Requester` participant to launch a request.
