[Vtigercrm-developers] Idea for Workflow tasks...

[Hamono, Chris (DPC)]

Provided only an administrator could change that setting otherwise it would open a security hole.

Of course the admin must be aware that doing so could allow non admin users do things that perhaps they shouldn’t do, it would also mean that say a new entity was created the creator would be listed as the admin and not the user that initiated the process.

Raising the current users ‘rights’ for the period the workflow ran may solve the issue but it would come with its own set of risks and break things, for example if the workflow created an entity the user would be correctly marked as the creator but may not actually have access rights to it. Is that a bad thing?

These sorts of things need to be considered before making such a change.

There are occasions when you want a Workflow to modify a field or something but the user that triggered the workflow doesn;t have the permissions in their own Profile so the workflow fails to run.

What I thought would be a good idea would be to have a switch setting on each task in a workflow where you can choose either to run it as the current user or as "admin".

What do you think?
