running iwjobc as author

Annad

Hi,
Is there a rule that only masters on TeamSite can run this command: iwjobc.
Thanks. I am not able to run this command as an author.

I don't think authors can ever create a job. Try it as an editor.

iwjobc is in fact limited to masters. This is a security constraint. iwjobc gives users the ability to execute any arbirary job template, not just those defined in available_templates.cfg. That means that users with the ability to invoke jobs directly with iwjobc have the ability to execute arbitrary commands (external tasks) with whatever permissions they like.

That's why you have to trust your master users, and why iwjobc is limited to them.

I don't know how then that I can run iwjobc on our dev and test servers as an author but not on the prod server as author but only as editor or above. All 3 servers have the same TeamSite version (5.5.2) and Service packs.

It's not a question of your current role. It's a question of your maximum role. That is, iwjobc doesn't check to see if you're currently logged in as an author or not. It doesn't even have any way of knowing that you're logged in. All it knows is that it's being run as a given user, so it reads the master.uid file before deciding if it's OK to run or not. If the account running the command is listed as a master, then it runs. If not, then it throws the error.

You are logged into Unix/NT as anna, not as a TS role. Since this is run from the command line, it checks
the UID files
