Hi everyone,

We currently have more than 170 Scheduled Jobs running in our instance that do not have the Run As field populated. We are looking to improve this setup by assigning a proper system user to these jobs.

Could you please share your recommendations or best practices for:

  • Creating a dedicated system user account to be used in the Run As field?
  • Permissions or roles that this user should have?
  • Any security or audit considerations when using a system account for Scheduled Jobs?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

I know this is an older thread, but I wanted to supplement its content with a SN KB that speaks to this question:

This document recommends using a Run-As user, and specified the cmdb_inst_admin role.
