Hi @kong-0411

You could try to grant read permission to these users. According to this article users who are approving the item as part of the workflow is also required to have Read access to the item that's the target of the workflow.

For Reference:

it's the editor user going to publish a page and trigger approval workflow. he is not the approver.

Hi @kong-0411

You could select "Allow this workflow to be manually started by an authenticated user with Edit Item permissions. "
