Stopping a running automation workflow
You can stop a running automation workflow to prevent it from completing its actions.
To stop a running automation workflow
The Run History page displays both running and completed instances of the automation workflow. The Terminate button is available on each instance that is currently running. After you click the button to stop a running instance of an automation workflow, you may experience a delay (up to several minutes) before the workflow shuts down.
Stopping a running automation workflow does not roll back or cancel the workflow activities that have already been performed; this only stops the workflow from running the activities that are in progress or not yet started.
Disabling an automation workflow from running
If you want to prevent an automation workflow from running for a certain period of time, you can disable the workflow. The workflow can be enabled at a later time so that it is allowed to run. For more information, see Re-enabling an automation workflow to run.

Re-enabling an automation workflow to run
When an automation workflow is disabled, which prevents the workflow from running, you can re-enable the workflow so that it can be run on demand or when it is scheduled to run.

Delegating automation workflow tasks
Active Roles provides a number of Access Templates that allow the administrator to delegate the following tasks related to automation workflows:
-
Configure automation workflow: To perform this task, the delegated administrator needs full control of automation workflow definitions, including the rights to add, configure, and remove workflow activities, view and change the workflow start conditions, add and remove workflow parameters, and assign values to workflow parameters.
-
Run automation workflow: To perform this task, the delegated administrator needs the rights to view the definition of an automation workflow, run the automation workflow on demand, and view the run history of the automation workflow.
-
View run history: To perform this task, the delegated administrator needs the rights to view the definition of an automation workflow, and view the run history reports on the running and completed instances of the automation workflow.
This section provides instructions on how to delegate these tasks to regular users or groups that do not have administrator rights in Active Roles.
