Running workflow as user with administrative permission (CRM 4.0)
Question

Hi,
I am assuming you mean you are changing the security role for that user. Yes, that user can still own workflows and other users can execute those workflows. A workflow will run in the user's context who is performing the operation. So yes, other users can execute those workflows. No it should not affect current running workflows. Remember the workflow will only do the steps for which the current user (running workflow) has permission. For example if you are administrator and own a workflow. Now I run that workflow and I don't have access to event entity. If that workflow has a step do update event record, that step will fail.
I hope this helps. If my response answered your question, please mark the response as an answer and also vote as helpful.

The security role will be the same and won't be changed, "System administrator". I'm thinking about the Client Access Mode - changing that from "full", which consumes a CAL, to administrative which doesn't consume a CAL.

Hi,
I think you better read Microsoft's licenses white paper or documentation so that you can know the full implication of the licenses. Can you have more than one 'administrative' users (I mean access mode = administrative), you need to check this also.
