Im confused by Process Model security for Initiator. From Appian Docs below, Initiator can start the process model but so can Viewers. I have a set of users I want to View the process model but not be an Initiator of the process via actions. How can this be achieved if Viewers also have Initiator rights?

When viewing the Process Model Security dialog box, configure the process model security by selecting the desired security setting for the users or groups listed. The rights for each security setting are listed in the table below.

@greggl As per my knowledge, I would like to add few more points to you understanding as follows:

The users whom you are expecting to see the process instances should have 'Viewer' access to the process instance if they aren't given the Process model security. So you should probably think of a mechanism where the users to whom you are expecting to view the instance data (after initiation by other groups) should be added to Process instance's security role map dynamically(by making use of 'Modify Process Security Smart Service'.) .
