Nintex Workflow : Start when items are modified - Conditional

I have a SharePoint group called "Administrators" and it is associated with the SharePoint list. Also, I have a Nintex Workflow associated with the list and it runs whenever an item is updated.

 

When a user who is member of "Administrators" group, makes changes in the SharePoint list item, the workflow should NOT be triggered.

 

Checked Workflow Settings in the Nintex Workflow and observed that we can trigger conditionally by mentioning the condition in the field "Start when items are modified".

 

I want to place a condition - "If item Modified by user is part of "Administrators" group", the workflow should not be triggered. 

 

I do not see a way to do this. May I know any inputs or work arounds?

 

Appreciate your help.

    @Krishna I am not aware of a way to do this using a conditional start but I do have a potential workaround for you. Have the first action of the workflow be check if  the user is in the admin group and then have a run if to terminate the workflow if it is.

    @leighburke 

     

    Thank you for the reply. 

     

    I am looking for an option not to trigger the workflow at all. 

     

    Regards

    Hi @Krishna,

    another workaround would be adding another workflow which runs on change and add @leighburke s suggestion. But instead of terminating, run your original workflow if the user is not in the group.

    The original workflow would then not run on modification.

    @Krishna The other option would be having logic in your form using the IsMemberOfGroup function(https://help.nintex.com/en-US/nintex2016/current/#sp2016/Forms/Designer/InlineFunctions.htm) and setting a checkbox field to use in the conditional start logic.
