I have several viewers that need to have variable only access (Not file editing ability). In my Addin, in order to update variables, the setvar function needs the file to be checked out. This is not required in normal workflow transitions.
Note: In "Out of the Box" workflow, I can set up transitions that will update variables when a "Viewer" user changes the workflow state.
Is it possible in API, to set variables from a "Viewer" login like you can in "Out of the Box" Workflow Transistions?
Seems to me that setting variables should not require checkout abilities

I never tested a viewer license, but I thought that a viewer could not change states or check out files. I thought the only thing they could do was open files read only for viewing and printing, could not participate in workflows..
