Hello,

as far as I know, the initiator is set as a process level variable and can't be reset via start event configuration or a web script. What I'd use in this situation is a process execution listener (implemented in Java) that deletes the process level variable (or reassigns to a "harmless" account). But bear in mind that the worklow will then no longer be found via the "Workflows I've started" page, as this relies on the initiator as a filter criteria. Also, you then no longer have any technical data telling you which user actually started the workflow (wether or not he/she should remain the owner) if you need to investigate it…

Regards
Axel
