Well what do you know or what you should’ve known is that as powerful as the user was in the subsite with Full control, the minimum permissions to open the Nintex Workflow/Forms Designer:
On the list the form user needs to have full control, on the site, the form user needs read permission and on the site collection, the user needs Read as well.
In case the form/ workflow buttons are not visible, check whether the user trying to access has full control or not.
The minimum permissions to Install Nintex Workflow / Nintex forms is ‘Site collection administrator’.
