Process
Inheriting security from main process to subprocess.

I have a use case, where I need to Inherit the Parent Process Security(Initiator Level) to each Sub-Process, But the Inherit Option in Sub-Process Activity is not working as expected and in the assignment tab, When I select the "Run as Whoever designed the Process Model" it is working fine,which is strongly discouraged by our practices.
Please let me know how exactly the Sub-Process Security & inherit option in sub-process activity node works (or) do I need to configure security explicitly for each sub process.?

When you set up a sub-process, you should see an option under the Setup tab that allows the sub-process to inherit the security as the parent process. You shouldn't need to configure security explicitly for each sub-process (aside from clicking the option I already mentioned).

Also, you need to ensure the parent process model's security is set to at least Initiator for the users that will be firing off instances of the process model.

When you say "not working as expected", could you also pls tell what problem you are facing?

If the trigger itself is failing, as reginaldm377 pointed out it could be the case that the user doesn't have even Initiator access to the process model.
