Restriction of running a background script

[Evren Yamin]

Hello All,

I have a requirement to restrict admin users to make changes on a user table and that includes restricting them to use a background script update the sys_user table.

Is there a way to do this? Can we restrict admin users to run a background script on a user table?

Thank you.

what's the business requirement?

You cannot use ACL for this as GlideRecord don't respect ACLs

It's difficult to determine in before update BR on sys_user table if the update is happening from background script or from some other place.

"By default, administrators can access this module without elevating privileges. If you want to require elevated privileges to access this module, set the system property glide.script_processor.admin to security_admin."
