App Initiators

(Permission Group)

App Initiators is a permission group for users or groups who have access rights to start a process-based app or form-based app.

  • For process-based apps, App Initiators are also process initiators for all process models within the app.
  • In a process-based app, an App Initiator must also be a participant for the ​start task to initiate an app. This means that when an App Initiator is configured at the global level in Manage Center, the App Initiator can start any app, but only if they are configured as a participant for the start task in an app.
  • For form-based apps, App Initiators are simply runtime app users for the app.

App Initiators can be assigned at the global level or for an individual app:

  • If App Initiators are assigned in Manage Center, they have access to all apps.
  • If App Initiators are assigned in App Builder, they have access to the individual apps where they are assigned.

An AgilePoint NX tenant can have App Initiators assigned at both the global level and assigned to individual apps.
