These days I had a problem with provisioning a list instance of a custom list definition which uses a taxonomy field. This feature is part of a custom site definition also.
Interestingly I was able to use my site defintion to create a new site collection. All custom lists that had my taxonomy field on it did not make any trouble in this instance.
But when I tried to create a sub web site with the same site definition the provisiong stopped with the following error:

Solution:
After some time I figured out that the application pool account that is used for my new site collection (whole web application) is different from the app pool account of the managed metadata service and central app.
After I had changed the app pool account of the site collection to the same of the managed metadata service/ central app. everything started to work as expected.

In my case user didn't have access to the hidden list "TaxonomyHiddenList". It's available under "Lists/TaxonomyHiddenList" url.
ReplyDeleteGranting user with "Read" permission to this list did the trick. This list has (at least in my case) broken permissions, so even granting someone full control to site collection didn't help.
