Admin creating new item in sitecore workflow

if workflow has been applied to one particular template . and admin creates new item using that template . in this case item is in draft state because initial state for workflow was draft .

so even if admin has created item it has to go throu workflow...

is there any way we can avoid this..we need to set initial state as draft for workflow for non-admin users.

please advice..thanks

We use a "skip approval" solution that allows admins the ability to use or bypass workflow by selecting a settings obj. We do it this way so that everyone can get the benefits of our blueprint template but not be required to use workflow. For our workflow people, theyll have to abide by the draft>aa(approve/reject)>approved while the bypass people can simply edit, click submit and their item is approved and published all in one click.

It's a really bad practice to use Admin users for creating items, editing content, etc. and you should avoid it as much as possible. Use roles with permissions to edit everything instead.

Regarding the question - I'd suggest the following options:

  • Create workflow action that checks whether the item was created by specific user, and moves it to the final state.
  • Or (I prefer this one) create a workflow command "Quick Publish without review" and make it available to specific users only. But item will be still created in a draft state.
