multiple ways running jobs with different user ids in order to access objects belonging to a different user:

• Use Agent instances

  • Multiple Agents can be operated to run in different accounts from the same Agent installation

  • For details see JobScheduler Universal Agent - Running multiple instances

• Use sudo

•  in the JobScheduler job

  • To access a file belonging to "other_user"

• • use 
    sudo -u other_user script_for_other_user.sh 

  • Make sure

• • that other_user

• •  doesn't require a password

• • for sudo. This can be achieved by adjusting the configuration from the sudoers

• •  file. This method is extremely flexible - you can change the user more than once within a job.

• • if sudo requires a password then you can use 
    echo "<password>" | sudo -S -u other_user script_for_other_user.sh

• Use SSH jobs
  • The use of SSH is not restricted to remote computers - you can use it to access local files. 
  • A JITL SSH job is provided with each JobScheduler installation. See the following articles:
