Flow Designer Properties

[sumit sharma1]

Hi,
I tried to Update the Flow Designer Property - "Run As" to "System User" from "User who initiates the "Session" in an existing flow. I want to make this change because End user (with snc_internal role) is unable to access one particular field in which we have to select the approver. So, the approval is going to some other User. There is an Read only ACL which is restricting the End user to read that Particular approver field. 

Can we do it without modifying the ACL? 
If we change the flow designer Property "Run as" to "System user". Will it work? 
But It seems Flow designer property is not updating to "system user" .

Instance - Vancouver

Thank You!

Hi @sumit sharma1 you dont need to modify ACL, in your flow properties when you set as run as user who initiate session you can specify the role which has read/write access to the table for example itil, so when flow runs as end user it will use itil role and perform operation as end user

HI @sumit sharma1 ,

You can run it with System User or can follow the stpes which @Harish KM has suggested.

Both the scenerios should work.

thanks,
