## Rule ID

**SN-0471**

## Impact

Scheduled jobs perform tasks that might require special access to resources. The user selected in the \”Run as\” field must be a valid and active user, and must have access to the resources accessed by the job in order for the job to be be successfully executed. This rule will detect scheduled jobs which have been configured with a user id in the \”Run as\” field which is inactive or locked out.

## Remediation

Validate that all jobs configured with a specific user id in the “Run as” refer to users which are active and not locked out.
