Locking a workflow to run as owner

How to lock a Magnus workflow to always run as the workflow owner?

Only admins can lock a workflow to always run as the workflow owner.

There are different ways to run a workflow.  Depending on which, the user account that is used to run the workflow will be different.

1. A workflow can be run manually by clicking on Run button.  The workflow will be executed as the user who clicks the Run button.
2. A workflow can be run by the scheduler.  The workflow will be executed as the workflow owner.
3. A workflow can be run remotely via the Remote Workflow Execute API.  The workflow will be executed as the user whose credential is provided in the request.
4. A workflow can be run from within a parent workflow via the Execute Workflow Task.  The workflow will be executed as the current running user of the parent workflow.

When a workflow is locked to always run as the workflow owner, then under all circumstances, the workflow will be executed as the workflow owner.

To lock a workflow to always run as the workflow owner:

1. If the workflow is not owned by you, nor delegated to you, then you need to first enable Advanced Admin.
2. Click on [Workflows] to open the Workflows Browser.
   
3. Type the workflow Id in the Content textbox.
4. Select “All Workflows” in the dropdown.
   
5. Click on the workflow Id to edit.
6. An open lock means that this workflow is not yet locked to always run as the owner.
   
7. Click on the lock icon until you see a closed lock.
   
8. Click Save.
