I am needing to insert the action Start a Workflow. However, I am confused by what information I am to enter in the Username and Password fields. Is the Username something I get from the SharePoint administrator or is it my work login? Is the password one I make up or is it the one associated with my work login username? If I use my work credentials, what happens when I am instructed to change my password? I am using Nintex O365.

Thanks for your guidance.

Hello Marnita,

you need to provide a credential with permission to start the workflow. Basically this will be the initiator of the workflow.

It could be your credentials / your work login for testing purposes, but it's better to use some service account provided by your administrator as the workflow will crash once you change your password.

Best regards

Enrico
