Processing private data using a workflow action

A method for database processing, comprising:

• identifying, at an external server that is external to a local system that is associated with a user device authenticated to access the local system, an action of a workflow that is running on the external server, wherein the action involves processing private data that is stored within the local system;
• transmitting, to the user device based at least in part on identifying the action, a set of instructions that are configured to access and process the private data that is stored within the local system;
• and
• receiving, from the user device based at least in part on transmitting the set of instructions, a result of execution of the set of instructions by the user device.

An apparatus for database processing, comprising:

• a processor;
• memory coupled with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• identify, at an external server that is external to a local system that is associated with a user device authenticated to access the local system, an action of a workflow that is running on the external server, wherein the action involves processing private data that is stored within the local system;
• transmit, to the user device based at least in part on identifying the action, a set of instructions that are configured to access and process the private data that is stored within the local system;
• and
• receive, from the user device based at least in part on transmitting the set of instructions, a result of execution of the set of instructions by the user device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code for database processing, the code comprising instructions executable by a processor to:

• identify, at an external server that is external to a local system that is associated with a user device authenticated to access the local system, an action of a workflow that is running on the external server, wherein the action involves processing private data that is stored within the local system;
• transmit, to the user device based at least in part on identifying the action, a set of instructions that are configured to access and process the private data that is stored within the local system;
• and
• receive, from the user device based at least in part on transmitting the set of instructions, a result of execution of the set of instructions by the user device.
