Automated activity context best practice

I figured out why I received an 'InvalidUserException' error at the 'Send Email' node. The privacy setting for one of the groups in the recipient list was set to high. 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. As for setting the assignment to 'Run as whoever started the process' for a 'Write to data entity' node, the initiator must be in a group that has viewer rights to the Data Store.
