RE: Running workflow as user initiating the workflow

Hi Martin - If you would like to execute the workflow in the context of user who made changes then you can use Sync / Real-time workflows and under Execute as option, you can select - "The user who made changes to the record".

You can find detailed information about real-time workflow here - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customerengagement/on-premises/developer/create-real-time-workflows

RE: Running workflow as user initiating the workflow

Yes surely you can do that if the following conditions are met

1. User creating phone call shall have privilege to create case.

If above condition is met,

2. You can create the case with the same user who created the phone call.

Alternatively, you can user assign action in workflow and assign the case after creation to the owner of phone call.

In the workflow steps, use "Assign Record" action.
