[More] Compensation approval web woes

[Michael Pokraka]

Hi Alexis,
As Serge has kindly pointed out, security is something to consider when
doing it under a background task. On the other hand, WF-BATCH is perfectl=
y
normal, this is actually a feature of workflow - being able to do things =
via
decisions that you're not authorized to do directly. As such, a workflow =
is
in fact the audit trail, rather than the userID on the record. Think PO
release.
Cheers
Mike
