What permissions are required to run automated workflows by default?

To run automated workflows by default, membership in the Workspace Admin or System Administrators group is necessary. This requirement is in place to ensure that only users with a higher level of access and control over the workspace can execute these workflows. This level of access is crucial to maintain the integrity and security of the data and processes involved, as automated workflows can significantly impact the business operations and data management.

Users with just view permissions, standard user permissions, or edit permissions in any group do not have the necessary authority or accountability that comes with administrative roles. Such permissions would not provide the required level of access to safeguard against inadvertent changes or errors that could arise from running workflows, which might include altering data, triggering processes, or affecting other users' workflows. Therefore, requiring membership in the Workspace Admin or System Administrators group provides a safeguard for overseeing the execution of automated workflows.
