Where do I set the "On Behalf Of" user

I have a workflow which sends an email when something happens. 

The From Address on the email appears in Outlook as:

From: AdaptiveWork <system@clarizen.com> On Behalf Of ????????

where  ???????? is the name of a user with ‘Integration User’ set in AdaptiveWork and it is an Admin user. This user is not the user set as the Default Workflow User in General Settings.

I thought that Integration User was only used for determining permission to use the API, and not related to outgoing emails, where I would expect the default workflow user to be used. From a security point of view, I’m not happy with sending out the user name of an integration user to anyone receiving an email from a workflow (while understanding that “security through obscurity” should not be relied on).

The fact that this user is an integration user may just be a coincidence or is it because the change which triggered the workflow was made via the API, but in any case I don’t want it sent out, but can’t work out where it is configured. Ideal would be the Default Workflow User.

Please can someone point me to where I configure the user which appears in the ‘On Behalf Of' field in workflow generated emails?

Thanks Julian

      Hi ​@julianm 

      The Send on Behalf of option is defined by system setting 10.3.

      If this is on then the mail will come from AdaptiveWork on behalf of the user that triggered the action in AdaptiveWork. You don’t configure the user that sends this, it is determined by the user that has triggered the action.

      If this is off then the mail will come from AdaptiveWork (system@clarizen.com).

      Thanks

      Pete
