Who is allowed to run inactive flows?

The correct choice emphasizes that only flow admins with the "Manage Flows" permission can run inactive flows. This is because inactive flows are typically not intended to be executed by standard users since they may not be in a stable or complete state. Flow administrators have the necessary permissions to access, modify, and execute flows in different states, including inactive ones. This control ensures that only authorized personnel can run or test flows that are not fully operational, helping to maintain the integrity and reliability of process automation within the Salesforce environment.

The distinction is important as it safeguards against unauthorized or unintended use of flows that may result in incomplete processes or data handling errors.
