# View running workflow instances

The workflows instances page displays details about running workflows that contain active user tasks. If the user task is part of a sub-process, you can see details about both the main process and the sub-process.

{% hint style="info" %}
You cannot view running workflows that contain only script tasks or that do not contain any more user tasks.
{% endhint %}

You must have the Sysadmin global role or a global role that has at least the Workflow Administration global permission to access this page:
