About
The StartProcess web method supports impersonation, and is available as of WorkflowGen version 5.6.3. It allows an authorized user to launch a process on behalf of another user with this web method call. This feature is useful when an external application doesn’t have the user’s credentials and wants to instantiate a process on their behalf.
Security
