Execution-Time Access

Who Can Trigger Execution

The following roles can trigger execution (call POST /api/executions):

• Owner — always
• Editor — always
• Executor — always
• Viewer — never (read-only)

Execution Actor Context

When an execution is triggered, the triggering actor is recorded in ExecutionMemory and is available to all node executors via the context:

// In any node executor
var triggeredBy = ctx.ActorId;         // userId who called the trigger API
var actorName   = ctx.ActorName;       // display name (resolved from IAM)
var actorRoles  = ctx.ActorRoles;      // IAM roles the actor has

$context and $user in Expressions

Nodes can reference actor information in their configuration expressions:

$context.executionId   // the current execution ID
$context.actorId       // userId who triggered the execution
$context.tenantId      // owning tenant
$user.name             // actor's display name
$user.email            // actor's email
$user.roles            // array of IAM role names

HIL Actor vs. Execution Actor

In workflows with Human-in-the-Loop nodes, there are two types of actors:
