Avatar

Is there a way how assignee of the particular workflow participant's step can see who actually launched the workflow, i.e. assigned that step to him?

Use the AEM Workflow API:

https://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/javadoc/com/adobe/granite/workflow/exec/Workflow.html

To learn how to work with the Workflow API -- see this communty article. It talks about how to invoke a workflow with the APIs. However - it will point you in the right direction:

Hope this helps.

I meant if there is a way how the Author or Content manager - those who actually shall act on some workflow steps (activate/deactivate or approve content) - can see who filed a request for them, or in AEM terminology: who started workflow in teh context of the specific content. I know how to access this info as a developer but I'm wondering if there is something in the admin interface where our users can obtain such information?

Out of the box -- no -- you have to extend AEM using the APIs.
