Hello community,
I have deployed the Performance Analytics in ServiceNow Production and here shows one of the data collections. We cannot change the field for "run as". May I know what would happen if the person mentioned in the "run as" will be leaving the company since the field cannot be changed. Will it run as normal after he leave, or we need to create a new data job? Hope for an answer on this
Solved! Go to Solution.

@AMIRULHAKIM Are you sure about not being able to change Run as, in the screenshot the field looks editable and you should be able to change it. In case if you can't change the Run as field from the UI, I recommend doing it via a fix/background script. If the person associated with the Run job leaves and their account becomes inactive then the job will not be able to collect the intended data.

What data collection is this? The 'run as' should (best practice) be a system user, but also: the field is not read only OOB. Check on the ACL/UI policies on the form, because you should be able to change it.
If the user leaves the company, the job won't run anymore the moment the user record becomes inactive or any roles/access changes.
