Process history showing actor name as Administrator

Certified Senior Developer

Hi All,

In some processes, we can see actor name coming as administrator and for some we can see its coming as the person who started the process. This is occuring for subprocesses. Any reason for this difference in behaviour? Where does this originate from??

    The value will be different depending on how the top-most parent process was triggered as well as what the "Assignment" configuration for the subprocess is set to.  If the subprocess is set to "Run as whoever designed this process model", then regardless of the initiator of the parent process, the initiator of the subprocess will show up as whatever account last published the subprocess (typically your Import Admin service account, assuming you're hopefully using such a setup).  If it's set to "run as whoever started the process", then it'll inherit the "initiator" value from its parent (NOTE: it can only inherit the exact same "initiator" as the parent, there's no avenue by which to change this to any other user).
