    Hi

    The id is always set to the “active” user that is currently executing a process or a form activity.

    - The user starts a new process instance via the dashboard, which is executed synchronously - the currentuser.id is set to the id of the user
    or

    - The user starts a new process that has no manual tasks (such as forms). Therefore the whole process and its activities get queued, and the engine executes every activity asynchronously under a generic user name (most of the time, its [email protected])

    So it is a question of the current session scope. Everything executed within the user session (blocking/waiting until it’s finished) will have the currentuser.id filled with the executing user, everything else, running in the background, will have a generic engine user id.

    In case you need the initial user ids beyond the blocking/synchronous tasks, you can store them in a variable.

    I hope this helps.
