From what domain do workflows and Flow Designer flows operate?

Workflows and Flow Designer flows operate from the domain of the record or user who initiates them. This means that the context in which the workflow or flow is executed is directly tied to the specific domain of the record being acted upon or the user's domain environment at the time of initiation.

This is crucial for ensuring that processes are carried out in the correct domain context, which can influence the data available, the records being manipulated, and the overall execution of the workflow or flow. By relying on the domain of the record or user, organizations can maintain appropriate visibility and access controls within their various domains, leading to more secure and effective automation processes.

In other contexts, the global domain might apply, but it does not specifically pertain to the operation of workflows and Flow Designer flows. Similarly, defining a workflow’s domain or allowing execution from any domain specified in settings is not how these processes natively function, as they abide by the domain of the initiating user or record.
