Control Workflow Launcher by a Specific User Action

[joyner100]

Is there a way to not launch the "DAM Update Asset" workflow if an asset is put in the DAM only by one specific user, but have it launch for assets added by any other user?

Looks like we found the solution, you can just add a condition like this jcr:createdBy!=user

Hey Joy,

Whenever an asset is dragged onto the page, the "DAM Update Asset" workflow launcher is specifically triggered.

With workflow launchers, you can add conditional logic to say whether the resource will be triggered against the workflow or not.

You can achieve this by adding something like:

jcr:createdBy=admin

Documentation on how to add a condition to Workflow Launchers can be found here -> https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/experience-manager/kb/ConditionsInWorkflowLauncher.html

I hope this helps.
