Hi,

 

I’m using Nintex Automation Workflow cloud and noticed that my admin account is applied to the “modified by” column. I am assuming every time the workflow runs through an action like “update item” it applies my admin acct name. Am I understanding this correctly?

I was asked why I was modifying the item in sharepoint and I’m not, my thought to this was that every time the workflow ran through an action that, that happened.

 

Can someone explain?

Hi ​@jpacheco 

The workflow actions run under the account used to set up the connection that is used in the action configuration.  So if you used your account to set up a connection in NAC and then configured an update item action with that connection it would execute under the context of your account.  We generally recommend using service accounts for connections due to this.
