Set a privileged user

Privileged users only exist on workflow tasks. On a workflow task, work is performed after the workflow starts and the privileged user must control where the workflow goes upon launch. You assign a privileged user only for schedule tasks that have associated workflow templates.

A process owner is the user who initiated the workflow process (also known as the process initiator). When the workflow process is initiated, the process owner becomes the responsible party for the workflow process; the root task of the workflow process is placed in the process owner's worklist. Whenever any task in the workflow process is not explicitly assigned to another user, person, or resource pool, the responsible party for the task defaults to the process owner.

Procedure

1. Right-click the task and choose Workflow Task.
2. To set the privileged user for a workflow task, click the Add Privileged User button in the Workflow Rule Configuration dialog box. To change the privileged user, click Edit Privileged User.
3. Select the user from the User or Resource Pool Selection dialog box and click OK.
4. To remove a user from being the privileged user, click the Remove User button in the Workflow Rule Configuration dialog box.
5. Click OK in the Workflow Rule Configuration dialog box.
