How to set the execution user
I am deploying projects to QA and developer stacks so that they can have their own copies of projects for testing and developing. I’m using the SnapLogic metadata snaps to delete and create pipelines...

Thank you.
- Can you tell me what changing the owner of a project changes if it doesn’t change the Username in Dashboard?
- When using the SnapLogic Metadata snaps to create assets will the owner always be the owner of the asset being copied and will changing the owner on the input document not be effective?
- Also, can you tell me where the Username on an execution in Dashboard comes from? Maybe I can back into with that information.
- Project ownership controls who can grant access to the project. Assets within the project are owned by whoever created them, which can be anyone having write access to the project.
- Assets created with Metadata snap are created under the ownership of the user who ran the pipeline.
- Dashboard shows the user account under which the pipeline ran. Scheduled and triggered task executions show as the user who created the task.
Thanks for the info. Its concerning that the creator of the task always shows as the executor. This is not an accurate audit trail so I will submit an enhancement request. Is there anyway to tell who actually executed a triggered task, like in a log in Manager or through the Pipeline Monitoring API?
The triggered pipeline actually runs as the user who created the task, so the information shown in the dashboard is accurate. The pipeline has to run as the task creator to ensure that the execution has access to any other resources/assets required for the execution. Running the pipeline as the task invoker can cause permission errors if the invoker has lesser privileges than the creator.
There is already an enhancement request open for showing the invoker id in addition to the task creator. The additional information can be added if the invocation is done using an user account, it cannot be shown when the invocation is done using a bearer token.
Thank you. Are the enhancement requests visible on the community site?
