Using the backend workflow doesn't let me pull data by a record's creator

Alright. I might have the wrong mental model for this, but I can’t figure out a clean solution.

I have a backend workflow which is listening for a webhook from twilio.
I need this workflow to fire, based on the phone number’s “creator’s” permission.

But when i do a ‘search for’ the phone number, and pull up the creator’s data, the object is empty.
I know this, because i created a log table and stored the email that should come up, and it comes up empty.

I was hoping to simply have the system work, but it seems like I need to store the creator’s email or ID along with the phone number, so that i can search for the appropriate creator email. Or perhaps there’s a permission problem that doesn’t let me search for a user based on the ‘creator’ field?

Any thoughts on the right approach to make sure that I run a workflow based on the object’s creator’s permission?

I used the server logs, but it doesn’t seem to give me the variables in the condition, just that the condition passed.

This might be a bit convoluted, but hopefully someone can give me a bit of direction :smiley:

Alright, it was a permission issue, I get now the privacy tab works now in the data section. But I’m curious, if this is the right approach? As this needs me to open up some access
