Summary

This snippet helps in killing the processes started by current logon session

Overview

In certain scenarios, when "Kill Processes" activity is used, it throws "Access is denied" error if it encounters a process running in a different logon session ( generally on servers with multiple users).

This snippet accesses the information of running processes and loops through the list of processes to check for the ones to be killed and started by the current logged in user. It kills the process when a match for aforementioned conditions is found.
