CGI task can not be activated by any user other than owner of job

TS71, win server 2003
-------------------------------
I have a workflow, in which cgitask is there. The initiated job gets completed only when the owner of job executed cgitask. If any other user tries to execute this task then it does not work. There are no permision issues as owner can be admin or a business user.
This cgitask's attribute are as follows
immediate="t", start="t", owner="__TAG__('iw_user')"
This statement is mentioned in manual

A cgi task script can run automatically upon the cgi task becoming activated under the following situations: ????The cgitask element’s immediate attribute’s value is specified as t and one of the following: ????The start attribute has a value of t and owner attribute for the task is the same as the owner attribute for the workflow

Does it mean that this task CAN RUN automatically or does it mean that this task WILL RUN automatically. So no other user can run this task except the job owner ? Or can this be activated by user other than job owner , but in that case it wont be automatic ?

What I am getting from the way this task works currently is this task can be activated by job owner only. Which is not whats mentioned in manual.

I have put the code in here.

Please help clarify these things.

The value of the "owner" attribute of the task is the only user that can transition the task (other than SYSTEM/root/Masters of course). The "immediate" attribute basically determines whether or not to automatically click the "Start Input Task" button on the CGI. The task is always immediately activated when the job gets there, regardless of what you put for that flag.

In your case, if the job owner is the owner of the task just preceeding the CGI, then you want immediate="t" so that the job owner doesn't have to go back to the job/task list and open it up again. If the owner of the preceeding task is going to be other people, then set immediate="f" so that their view of things ends in the previous task, and then your job owner can come along and do the CGI task work when they're ready.
