An application that has been in our TEST environment for several weeks recently generated an error (InvalidUserException) that was spawned when the process flow came to a 'Send E-Mail' node. I'm pretty certain the cause is due to the assignment on this node. I had it set to 'Run as whoever started the process' and I think it should be 'Run as whoever designed this process model', but I'm not sure why the error is only now showing up. The individual who started the process is not an administrator but has tested this process multiple times. Am I correct in assuming that the assignment for Send E-Mail, News Feed and Subprocess nodes should (always) be set to 'Run as whoever designed this process model' - which would be the application administrator (Administrator group) who updates/imports patches?

I did some more research and read that if you set the assignment for this node to 'Run as whoever started the process', the initiator has to be able to see the members in the group. Because the privacy setting on one of the groups was 'high', the initiator couldn't see those members and therefore, did not have the authority to send an email. Note that if the setting IS changed to 'Run as whoever designed the process', the recipient group needs to be publicly visible or the designer has to be a member.
