Working With the Cron Manager

Note on Cron Users

  • Users with cron permission have access to all available cron jobs.

  • The cron jobs are executed in the user context of the logged-in user. Therefore we recommend to use a special cron user to use the application to ensure that the jobs always run in the same context.

Using the Job List

All available cron jobs are displayed in the job list on the cron manager start page.

  • Activated jobs are displayed in blue.

  • Inactive jobs are shown in grey.
