How does document security work in the following situation?
I have a process model that is accessing a document (XML). The process model reads the document into memory and then behaves based on the document. Since the process model is not a user does that mean the process model will be able to access the document without any additional configuration?
Everything I've found in the documentation mentions how users can interact with documents, but there is no mention or how rules or processes/process models can interact with documents.

My first guess is that the security for accessing the document would derive either from the process model's publisher, and/or the "assignment" value under the smart service node that reads the XML. I would think that in the (rare?) case where the publisher of the process model is a designer (but not system admin) and doesn't happen to have access to the knowledge center / folder structure holding the XML, that the smart service might fail. It should be pretty easy to plan security accordingly, I think.
