Allow non-admin to create/edit scheduled tasks Charles 05-23-2007

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to allow a person that is not an
administrator (they are a power user I believe) on a 2003 Standard Server to
create and edit scheduled tasks? Currently when a Power User double clicks
on Scheduled Tasks within Control Panel they get an Access Denied message.
I tried adding Power Users to the Security Tab of the SchTasks.exe with
modify rights but that did not do the trick.

Thanks

Charles

My guess is you would need to change the permissions on the TASKS folder
using CACLS. Never tried it myself though!
Another thing that comes to my mind is that the scheduled tasks may/can be
misused by the non-domain admin. Not sure about this, but it is a thing I
would test get a feeling about it
