Scheduled tasks - Part 2
Hi there,
Does anyone know the permission a user needs in order to be able to run a scheduled task he hasn't create?
Cheers,
R.

Yes, but by putting the user in that group, you give him all the power, not only the one to run a scheduled tesk!!!
What are you trying to accomplish?
If a user creates a task, then it can run whether he/she is logged on or not - it's a task to run 'in the future' - under the supplied credentials.
If it's a task that will require elevated permissions, you should schedule it using the SYSTEM account.
I usually schedule mine from the command line, but I'm quite certain you can just change the GUI version of schtasks to set the user account to SYSTEM and then don't supply a password...

your user doesnt have the rights to "log on as batch job"
it doesnt matter if your account is an admin account you still need to set this permissions.
