Restricting Process Builder workflows to execute for certain profiles

I have created a workflow in process builder that creates a task based off certain fields being updated from the account page layout. Is there a way I can restrict this being triggered to certain Profiles?

Theoretically in the "+ Add Criteria" section you could add a condition to check the profile of the user and either allow the task creation or not. You have to use the "Formula evaluates to true" option. It also depends on whether you are checking for the Account record owner 
[Account].Owner.Profile.Name = [some profile]
or for the running user 
$User.ProfileId = [some profile ID]
You would also have to use or operator ( || ) if you have multiple profiles you want to check for.
The only problem with this approach is you have to hard code the profile names or IDs which is not great to manage.

Hope that helps
