Video Demo: Getting Granular With Salesforce Roles and Permissions

How to Manage 'Execute as Admin' Workflows
Last week, in response to an increasing number of questions from our NetSuite customers, we showed you how to manage scripts that execute in the Administrator role. You can find that post here. One thing it didn't cover, however, was workflows that execute as Administrator.
