Hi Experts,
While working with the concept of workflow, I came across the term process owner. As per the help document provided by SAP in the sourcing system, the process owner is the one who triggers the workflow and executes the workflow script.
But this definition is a little ambigous to understand. Hence, it would be greatful if somebody can answer my following queries regarding the workflow process owner.
What is the advantage we will be deriving if we have a workflow process owner separately?
We know that it's used to trigger the daemon, but why SAP has introduced and recommends to maintain a single process owner , will it improve workflow process daemon by adding always a single account as process owner? What’s the reason behind recommendation?
Are we going to lose anything if we don’t have a workflow process owner maintained?
Why should the process owner not be given login rights? But by default if there is no context specific process owner added, then the document owner is added as the process owner. If it is a recommendation , we are always allowing owner of the document who becomes the process owner to login at present. Will this lead to any security vulnerability?
Thanks in advance!
