Hi,

you can set authenticated user.


  private String startProcessAsUser(String processId, String userId) {
    try {
      identityService.setAuthenticatedUserId(userId);
      return runtimeService.startProcessInstanceByKey(processId).getId();
    }
    finally {
      identityService.setAuthenticatedUserId(null);
    }
  }
