How to choose the right deployment option
Users in the same organization access Workflow Manager through sharing, so it would need to be deployed in the same environment where the main users are members to access assigned work and run steps.
This would likely require an ArcGIS Online deployment of Workflow Manager. However, if the main need is in ArcGIS Enterprise, there are Workflow Manager APIs available for custom Python tools to activate job actions.
While this information is meant to be general guidance, we encourage you to have a detailed conversation with your Esri account manager or contact sales for help choosing the best deployment that fits your needs.
