"xxxx - Registered App" user name

0

Hi,

after creating/registering an API application, a user is automatically created. For instance, if the API app is named "something", the created user is named "something - Registered App".
This user needs access rigts for the app/process it need access, and that's clear.
But, api actions are also performed by that user, and this name is visible (for example - if we start the workflow over API, workflow instance is started by "something - Registered App").
So, how can I change the user name from ""something - Registered App" to anyfing else, like just "something" ?
I don't want my users to see "something - Registered App", they won't understand who or what started the workflow... :-(

Hi Rafał,

there's no way to change this. Except from overwriting the value in the COS whenever the user synchronization has been executed.

You could check out whether switching from "App context" to "User context" would be feasible. I haven't used it yet.
https://developer.webcon.com/docs/api-registration-and-authentication#user-context-configuration

If this doesn't work, because another system triggers the workflow initiation you could use a special path with an own form type.
I would use this path to create a new workflow instance using an action and overwrite the user. The workflow started by the API would then be deleted automatically with an action.
The second form type wouldn't cause missing numbers in the instance numbering.

Best regards,
Daniel
