Workflow Owner 

Every workflow has an owner. The workflow owner has special privileges and visibility as it relates to the corresponding workflow jobs. In particular, the owner of a workflow can do the following:

·        He sees in its task queue every instance of every step that is available to or received by every other user

·        He is the only user who can delete a job that is not yet complete or take over performing a step

·        Depending upon the settings of the Start step, he may be the only user who is permitted to send the job from one process step to the next or split a job.

The special user [Owner] often appears in drop-down lists of users within workflow step properties and refers to the workflow owner. In addition, the special user [Anyone] sometimes appears in the drop-down lists and refers to any assignee user.
