Hi Community!
I've just attended a session on Process Mining, where ServiceNow demonstrated the new free-tier demo process mining projects.
I tried to run them myself, both on my base account with process mining roles and on my platform admin account.
I'm not having any luck - it just gives me a generic error. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi @Shane Baker
Do you have admin rights in your instance? If not, assign them and try again.

Are you the creator of this project? Try copying this project and then perform the mining and testing.

It seems like the instance does not have user with "admin" username.
The project is mined based on created_by field, in this case it is "admin" so, in order to fix the issue, you need to update the created_by field by using background script.
