# Initiation Node

> This article explains how to modify form field permissions for the initiation node of an approval process in the YiDA workbench. It covers signing in, opening page management, and editing the workflow design, and shows how to set fields as editable, read-only, or hidden.

The initiation node is the starting point of a workflow. Every approval process has an initiation node by default. This node cannot be deleted. You can configure the form field permissions of the process initiator.

## Modify Initiator Field Permissions

Follow the steps below to modify the form field permissions of the initiation node.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Step 1">
    Sign in to the [YiDA workbench](https://www.yidaapps.com/workPlatform). Select the target app and go to the app's **Page management** page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Step 2">
    Select the workflow form, click the inverted triangle next to Edit workflow form, and then click **Workflow design**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Click the Initiation node, then select Field permissions" />

  <Step title="Configure the permissions for each form component. Three permission modes are supported: editable, read-only, and hidden" />
</Steps>

For example, to make the post-repair fields in the form invisible to the initiator, set the permission of the corresponding components to hidden.

5. After completing the configuration, click **Save**.

After the permissions are set, the process initiator can no longer see the post-repair content when submitting the form.

<Note>
  To modify the approval process permission group, go to **Page settings** > **Permission settings** of the form. For details, see [Permission settings](/yida/process/lagbfd).
