Workflow – Use the App Step in workflows

In most cases I want my workflows to run with full-control on the site, so that they can read and update any list mentioned in the workflow, so ALL my stages function within an ‘App Step’. Without this ability, the workflow runs with the rights of the person who initiated it and this can result in a suspended workflow if the individual does not have the rights to read or update a record on a particular table. If this happens, the workflow hangs and no-one is the wiser unless they examine each workflow every day

To see how to do this, follow the easy to use and comprehensive guidelines given through the Microsoft URL Create a workflow with elevated permissions by using the SharePoint 2013 Workflow platform . Also, take a look at my post on Workflow – Scoping the App Step to specify the scope correctly if you are using sub-sites or wish to access data across the Site Collectiion
