Run a Workflow As a Different User
Server supports the ability to run workflows using specific user accounts. These accounts are referred to as run-as user accounts. This allows workflows to read and write data to the program files the run-as user has access to.
A Curator (Server admin) has to configure the ability to run workflows as a different user. Go to the Workflow Credentials Setting and Add a Credential help pages for more info. Depending on how the Curator (Server admin) has configured the run-as permissions, Server users will have 1 of these experiences:
If your Curator (Server admin) selects the Use Default Credentials option for the Workflow Credentials Setting, your workflows will run using the run-as account specified as default by the Curator.
If your Curator (Server admin) selects the Allow User to Select option for the Workflow Credentials Setting, you will have an option to select a run-as credential when saving your workflows to Server. To do so, select Always run this workflow with these credentials under Set workflow credentials and select credentials that a Curator (Server admin) has shared with you. Go to the Save a Workflow to Server help page for more info.
