How to get username in createdBy property of contentfragment/folder when workflow is started by that user?

Question

Hi All,I have business requirement where I'm creating folders & content fragment using the workflow.So, for this I created one custom process step where I'm getting ResourceResolver after execute method as below:try(ResourceResolver rr = workflowSession.adaptTo(ResourceResolver.class)){
    Resource cfModel = rr.getReource(cfmpath);
    FragmentTemplate ft = cfModel.adaptTo(FragmentTemplate.class);
    ContentFragment cf = ft.createFragment(folder, cfName, cfTitle);
}This is working fine, but when I check CF's property jcr:createdBy="admin" is coming.Instead, I want the user/account name who has triggered this workflow. Could anyone please advise me as to how I get the desired result? Many Thanks,sesmic

You cannot directly modify the jcr:createdBy property as it is protected. Instead, you should create the content fragment using a ResourceResolver that is authenticated as the user who started the workflow. This way, the jcr:createdBy property will be set correctly.

String userId = workflowSession.getUser().getID();

// Create a ResourceResolver with the user ID
Map<String, Object> authInfo = new HashMap<>();
authInfo.put(ResourceResolverFactory.USER, userId);

can you please provide complete code here

First get the user id from workflow session , then set the jcr:createdBy with the userId

String userId = workflowSession.getUser().getID();

ValueMap properties = cf.adaptTo(Resource.class).adaptTo(ValueMap.class);
properties.put("jcr:createdBy", userId);
