Description

**What the feature is (as Title)**

Service accounts for workflow execution

**Value proposition**

Automation that runs on behalf of a person inherits that person's permissions and lifecycle, which becomes fragile as teams scale. Configurable execution identity introduces service accounts that users can associate with workflows and rules, giving automations a stable identity and predictable permissions independent of any individual user.

**Expected outcome**

- Associate workflows with service accounts instead of personal identities
- Stable execution behavior when people change roles or leave
- Clearer security review and auditing of what automation is allowed to do
