Applying a Sitecore workflow for a particular user

Question

Is it possible to apply a workflow in Sitecore only for a particular user?

I want to apply a workflow when the editor edits any item, but don't want to apply a workflow on that item in case an Admin edits it. Is that possible?

Answer 1

First Question: Workflow is applied to an item. Workflow, however, does have security around it. This means that you can have different actions/flows at a user (or role) level.

Second Question: Users who have the "User is Administrator" checkbox checked on the "edit user screen" will in fact bypass workflow.
