Who is system user?

[cgedney]

I have a flow that is triggered monthly. It runs as "System User". Who is that? The workflow we have for the request by-passes certain things if the user who is requesting is in IT. Since System User doesn't seem to be in IT, it is not by-passing the sections I need it to by-pass. Thank you for any insights.

Hi @cgedney,

System User: The flow runs as the System User. The System User is not a user record from the User table. System is a service account that is not restricted by access controls.

For reference: Running Flows with Alternate Permissions
