can any one explain the difference between running user and specific user?

Andrew EchevarriaAndrew Echevarria
A running user is defined by the settings, it can be either the logged in user, or a specific user. Specific user is for individual specific users (not necessarily yourself). So a specific user can be a running user, but a running user is not necessarily a specific user. Does that make sense? Here's a link to some documentation:
