If I want a simple workflow where role_a submits nodes that go to workflow state queue_a and role_b submits nodes that go to queue_b and role_c moves nodes from queue_a or queue_b to approved I am unable to do that because I'll get an error in workflow config of "Please give the author permission to go from (creation) to at least one state!"
My use case is more complicated, but the base of it is that there is no common workflow state that all my roles can go to on creation. Could that error message be thrown instead only if both of these conditions are met:
1. Author has no permission to go from creation to at least one state (as it is now)
2. There is a role which as create_(content_type) permission which does not have permission to go to creation from at least one state.
Stated another way, if all roles which have permission to create these nodes have a destination state from creation there should be no requirement that Author have a destination state.

This issue has been bugging me for years.
I now have decided to change the error message in WorkflowConfigTransitionRoleForm.php
from 'Please give the author permission to go from %creation to at least one state!'
to 'At least one role must have permission to go from %creation to another state.'
The patch also unifies the usasge of 'Author' vs 'author'.
