Change Scheduled Job run as field to System Administration?

[Aryan]

Hello All,

I created some scheduled jobs and currently the run as field is showing my name , so as per Best Practice i want to change run as field to "System Administration" user account but the class filed of mu scheduled job records are different like some are scheduled report , Audit , Script execution. 

So is it okay if I can change the run as field to "System Administration " user account ??

Can someone help me on this!!

Hi @Aryan ,

Yes it should be fine to remove your name and run as 'system administrator' , it is not recommended to use any user account as user account may get inactive in future and the scheduled job might not run .

please refer the below article related to schedule job,

Hi @Aryan 

I don't think it would be an issue if you switch to System Admin account. Although, you can also make a Service Account with the required roles and permissions and configure the scheduled job to run under that account. Refer below post which might be helpful :
