When you resubmit a Backup job from Workflow > Tools > Resubmit Job does this utilize the local user like debug mode or does it use the user that is associated with the services?
I’m assuming that this is the user associated with the services, but looking for confirmation.
Since resubmitting is done in debug mode, it will use the credentials of the local (logged in) user.
From the Tools tab, the Resubmit Job creates entries in the normal ppw log file just like any job received in production. So I was expecting that this Resubmit Job utility was utilizing the Service Account.
I’ve found that in Debug mode (Debug Tab such as the Run or Step to process the sample data file) that the entries go to the messages window and does not write to the normal ppw log file. I know that items on the Debug Tab utilize the local user account.
My bad 
I mixed up Resubmit job from the Tools menu and Run from here from the Debug menu.
I will enquire on this and post the answer here.
Sorry about that.
No worries, just need to know if there is a difference for testing. If the Tools Tab Resubmit Job does use the Services Account it make it easier to test when they don’t allow me to login/launch the workflow config tool as the Services Account.
I seems if I recall correctly that when there has been permission issues with my account and debug fails, that the Tools Tab Resubmit Job works. I could however be recalling incorrectly too. I appreciate the clarification and look forward for the answer.
The resubmit option is triggered through the Workflow configuration tool, but the job being resubmitted is actually handled by the Workflow service. Therefore the job will be handled with the service’s credentials.
Thanks for the clarification
So Tools > Resubmit Job uses the Service Account
And Debug > Run from here use the local user
Yes. Run, Step, Run from here and Step from here are all handled by the Configuration tool itself, therefore they all use its credentials.
