Can a flow be run as the SYSTEM account instead of the user who started it in Decisions?

Hello,

If a system administrator runs a flow, is there a way to have the flow execute as the SYSTEM account rather than under their own user account?

Hello,

There isn’t a global setting to run an entire flow as the SYSTEM account when started by a user. However, you can:

• Set individual steps within the flow to run as System by configuring the Security Context property.
• If you need the whole flow to run as SYSTEM, schedule the flow as a job—scheduled flows run under the SYSTEM context.

Hope this helps!
