What conditions must business users meet to start a related action in Appian?

The requirement for business users to have initiator permissions to the process model is fundamental because it empowers them to start a related action. Initiator permissions ensure that the user has the authority to kick off a specific process, which is a critical aspect of maintaining control and security within the Appian environment. This permission specifies which users can initiate processes associated with a record or action.

While view permissions for the record allow users to see the relevant data and context in Appian, it doesn't grant them the capability to initiate a process. Administrator rights are not necessary to start related actions, as they typically exceed what is required for operational tasks. Lastly, knowing the process model's ID is not a prerequisite for initiating a process; users interact with the process through the interface rather than needing to reference its ID directly. Thus, having the proper initiator permissions is the key criteria for enabling business users to start related actions effectively.
