what is the difference initiator and loggedInUser

Hi Surya

Basically is LoggedInUser is a Appian inbuilt function and pp!initiator is a process property.

docs.appian.com/.../fnc_people_loggedinuser.html

We can use loggedInuser in process model as well. But the significance difference is that we might have 2 or more different loggedIn user for a process as process model may consists of n numbers of task which may assigned or performed by different user. But in case of process initiator, pp!initiator stored the user information who initiate/started the process initially/firstly.

That is why we are using initiator for process and loggedInUser at the task level(UI).

Thanks
Aditya

Initiator and loggedInUser do not return the same values! The Appian documentation says:

"If there is no user context, such as when used in an expression in a node output, loggedInUser() returns "Administrator"."

So be careful with this!

I use loggedInUser() in interfaces only.
