Post Function - who does it run as

[Dirk Ronsmans]

I'm trying to find an answer to this but either I'm looking over it every time or it's just not documented.

When running a script in a post function, what is the context that this is executed as?

Is it as the user that did the action to trigger the post function?

Is it as a generic internal user?

Is it as an admin/service account?

Anybody got a definitive answer to this?

Hi @Dirk Ronsmans ,

post function is something that happens at the end of transition. A transition is executed by user so also the post function is performed by the same user.

At development level, infact, on postfunction execute method you can retrive info about the user that run the transition.

Hope this helps,

Fabio
