Post Remove "Delete Job" ability through web interface Reply with quote
When I uncheck the "disable job" option in the security section of the 24x7 Windows version 3.6.1 GUI I also lose the ability to edit the job amoung other rights. How do I only remove the right to delete jobs through teh web browser?

What's the real difference between edit and delete? Let them edit but not delete? If one can edit, he can change a job so that it would do nothing or just never run, which is the same as deleting it, isn't it?

No. Delete gets rid of the entire job while edit keeps the job and I know who changed it. We had a job accidently deleted and I wanted to force a job deletion function to go to the server locally or set up a special account that has the delete authority. If this is the case, why do you offer a delete button and separate security for the function?

I'm sorry I don't follow. Where do you see it different? there are only 4 job protection levels:

Not protected – can do anything to the job
Read-only - cannot change or delete, but can view details and code, and also can execute
Execute-only - cannot view details and change, but can execute)
Full protection, cannot view details, cannot change, cannot execute


By the way, the latest scheduler versions automatically write audit records for job changes, deletions, manual runs, etc....

I am not referring to job protection. I am referring to security, such as, thorugh the "administrator", "standard", etc...roles.

I want bascially adminstrator rights on the web gui without delete rights (uncheck delete job in 24x7 security).

These sorts of checks are implemented in the scheduler when external applications like web console call scheduler's API methods.

You would need to update job_menu.jsp if you want to disable Delete button for certain users. Please check the code of that file. Its quite plain. Search for "Delete Job" substring and in the following IF statement leave only user.isAdmin() condition and remove or comment out 2 other conditions for power users and for job owners.

I made the change but it doesn't take effect. I restarted the web service and deleted my browser cache but no change. Is it being cached somewhere or how do I force the change to take effect.

The Delete button is displayed in enabled state, but it shouldn't do anything if the logged in user is not an admin. Can you confirm that is what you get when logged in as user from one of non-admin groups?
