Scheduled job Run as Admin or HR Admin

[VasukiS]

I am working in HRSD Module. I am writing to seek your guidance on the best practices for configuring the "RunAs" field in scheduled jobs. Specifically, I would like to know if it is recommended to use an HR Admin profile for this purpose. or I should use Admin profile? Please share the explanation. 

If using an HR Admin or Admin profile is not advisable, could you please provide insights on the appropriate permissions that should be assigned to a service account created for running scheduled jobs?

Thank you for your assistance.

Please create scheduled job in HR scope. There is no such document which says what's best practice.

Ensure Run as - System Administrator and not HR admin profile

HR Admin profile might not have the additional privileges which System Admin has

Hi @VasukiS 

if the job is specific to HRSD, then better use the HR Service acocunt not the admin.

Hi @VasukiS 

I also instantly answered that the HR profile is the right way to go. So, if you're comfortable with it, please accept my answer.

You should also create the scheduled job in the specific application scope.
