Workflow FileList owner issue

I have workflow that uses a filelist deployment. within the workflow I create this filelist within a ipl file which gets kicked off in my workflow. The issue becomes that this script is kicked off via root and in return the filelist is owned by root. My current fix is to run chgrp and chmod 774 so my group is now the the group for this file and it has read/write/exec. What can I do so that this workflow is kicked off has the user of the workflow?

I don't have a Unix system handy right now, but presumably the workflow itself is owned by the user who initiated the job. The externaltask script that you are (presumably) using may have its process owned by root (or whomever the TeamSite webserver process is owned by) and thus the files created within it, and the processes fired off from within it may also be owned by this same user (root in your case).

While this may not be totally desireable, I'm not sure I understand what problem you are trying to fix by chgrp/chmod - could you perhaps elaborate a bit more on what (if any) errors are occurring? Or is this solely a case of not wanting the process to run as root?
