Project Server 2013 Workflows: Why is the Initiator the System Account?

$

Hey,

I know all about the workflow manager and the user profile sync and all the permissions that need to be in place before creating a SharePoint designer workflow. I have created a workflow and deployed it to my instance of project server.

But,

Whenever I create a new project, the workflow fails with a status of Cancelled and a 401 message. When I look at the Initiator for the workflow (under Additional Workflow Data), it is set to the System Account. Obviously this fails with a 401 because the System Account cannot initiate workflows in 2013.

But,

I CREATED THE PROJECT! Shouldn't the initiator of the workflow be me? And here is another thing, if I select Restart workflow from the Workflow Status PDP, it works! And when I check Additional Workflow Data the Initiator is me!

So, Why are my workflows running under the system account when that is not the account that created the project?
