Why can't I change Flow designer to run as System

Why can't I change Flow designer to run as System?

I have this flow Run as User who initiates session but need to change this.

I checked documentation and I should be able to change it like in this screenshot:

But I don't have the option.... Also tried to Elevate Roles but that does not seem to work.

What do I do wrong?

Just found the cause: It is triggered form inbound Email....

In documentation >

NOTE: Flows with an Inbound Email trigger always run as the user who sent the email or the Guest user. The Run As value cannot be set for flows with an Inbound Email trigger.

The solution is to set Roles on the flow

Can confirm this is still working - many thanks.

Updating the value from sys_hub_flow in my case did not work. I even deactivated the flow, updated the value to "system user", and then activated the flow back.

I had to strip out the trigger, then when I added the trigger back, I was able to ensure that the system user was selected. It worked just fine after that. It was a bit of a pain having to run through all of the steps and re-add all of the items that were dependents of the trigger.

I just tried this and I'm still seeing the same issue, it's running as the user who created the flow.

How is this even an issue at this point 😞
