Question
Friday, December 8, 2017 2:34 PM
I have a scheduled task that must run as SYSTEM, but I would like to allow unprivileged users the ability to see it.
They don't need to see all aspects of it (although that would be OK), but it is important that they are allowed to see the state/status and the last run time. Obviously, they already would know the name of the task, and I don't want them to be able to modify or run it.
How can this be set up?
Thanks.

Hi cascomp,
You can give regular users or those within a specified group read access to the tasks folder (C:\Windows\System32\Tasks). Find the related task and assign "read and execute" rights to the user you want to be able to access it. Be sure to assign to "current object only." Then the task will be visible and runnable from the limited user, and it will work if you saved your credentials in it and checked "run whether user is logged on or not."
Allow to view and run scheduled tasks without admin rights

That works for me!
Actually, for my purposes, I don't need to give Execute rights, just Read works.
Thanks.
