Other configuration settings

The following table contains a description of the Other configuration settings in Collibra.

Setting Description
Any user can start the workflow.

Indicates that any user with a role that has the Start workflow global permission can start the workflow.

This option overrides any roles that are specified in the Roles section.

Perform candidate user check on workflow start.

Checks if all workflow user tasks have a candidate user expression that can be resolved to at least one Collibra Data Intelligence Platform user that fulfills all of the following conditions:

  • The user must be active.
  • The user must have a global role with the Participate in workflow global permission.
  • The user must have a role or must be part of a group that the task is assigned to.

If you select this option and there is at least one task that cannot be assigned to a user, the workflow does not start and you see an error message.

If you clear this option and there is at least one task that cannot be assigned to a user, the workflow starts and progresses up to the last user task before the task that cannot be assigned. You see an error message and you can either fulfill the requirements so that the task can be assigned or cancel the workflow.

This workflow can only run once at the same time on a specific resource.

Determines if you can start a workflow multiple times, simultaneously for the same resource.

If selected, you can only start the workflow once for a given resource. If any user tries to start the same workflow for the same resource, an error message is displayed. However, users can still start the same workflow for a different resource or another workflow for the same resource.

If Lock resource is also selected, no other workflow can start on the same resource while this workflow is running neither can this workflow start if any other workflow is running on the same resource.
