Be able to configure the AI framework without giving authorizations to improper user

Today it is not possible to run the workflows with the same user that is supposed to run the AI Framework. Instead you have to set up an interactive user with higher authority than any other user in the system and run the workflow. After that all authorization has to be changed/removed and try to run this as the supposed user to run the AI framework. This breeches our security setup and it is not allowed for a company taking security seriously.

 

Comparing to the MLz Enterprise were you start the configuration with the correct user and enter all parameters and you are done.

    Hello Thomas,
    We are considering an update to the AI Framework workflows so that MLz Core will initially be configured to run as started tasks under its own user ID. This change would eliminate the need for elevated authority for the workflow owner.
    Would this approach address your concerns? If you?d like, we can arrange a meeting with the team to walk through the details and discuss any concerns.
    Thank you!
