how to stop Scheduled jobs getting run using inactive user profile

[Vineela1]

Hi Team,

Scheduled Jobs getting run by inactive user as created by user is inactive when scheduled job is getting run.

Please suggest inputs how to avoid this.

As client project security issues , they don't want to run scheduled jobs if created user is inactive.

So rather than deactivating the jobs you can swap run as with a different admin user?

Hi Vineela, 

The scheduled jobs are run as the user in the "Run As" field on a schedule job. This field is not on the form "OOTB", so you may need to add it to the form , or change it via the list view.

It is usually best practice to have these run as "System Admin". Usually from my experience schedule jobs would not run if the user is inactive. However, I would just recommend you change the "Run As" field for the relevant jobs. 

Hope that answers your query.

Always run scheduled job as System Administrator. So please update the Run as User with System Administrator

This user will never get de-activated.

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar ,

As per Client security restrictions we cannot Run as System administrator as default one. on requirement basis only they will give admin privileges.

Please suggest inputs how we can stop this scheduled jobs if created user is inactive.

I have created a scheduled job for testing and tried with "Run as" is  blank. still it is running without any issue.

@Vineela1 

why to stop scheduled job?

Ideally the user who is present in Run as should be Active

The only user which can be relied upon is System Administrator
