Workflows and Workflow Jobs
When you start a workflow (i.e. a workflow definition), this creates a workflow job (as you know it from profiles).
A workflow job has a unique name and ID (see w orkflow system variables VAR_SYS_WF_ID and VAR_SYS_WF_DISPLAYNAME, also available under Control Center → Jobs → Workflows → context menu → Current information).
The creator of the workflow job is stored in the workflow system variable VAR_SENDER.
