Why initiator can interact with Workflow when it is assigned to somebody else?

Hi All,

i have a question related to workflows. i have created a workflow that is initiated by User A. After initiation it goes to a user B. Then there is  an OR Split where user B can decide to accept or reject.

Now the strange thing is that: user A after initiating the workflow, sees the workflow step in his AEM inbox. User B also has the same item in his AEM inobx and both can perform next step (select one step out of the 2 inside OR split) on the workflow. Is there something that i am doing wrong?

We are using AEM 6.3.

Thanks .

That is what happened - in your 1st step - you did not assign a specific user - like I did, I assigned User A and User B cannot see it.

i see.. that was a silly mistake. Actually we migrated the workflow from AEM 6.0 to AEM 6.3 and seems like we had to do some authoring again to select the appropriate user/group. it looks fine after that.  But we have observed that the admin or user who is part of administrators group are getting all the notifications in the inbox. Seems ok but we did not notice this thing in 6.0 version. 

Thanks for the help here though.
