Read Access for DS Jobs

Gurus,

Is there any way, I can enable a user to do only a read access to the DS jobs at the project level.It is ok, if he can run the jobs but the user should not be able to modify the existing jobs.

Thanks..............

One way I could think of is create a new Project and move all the jobs from your source Project into this new project using Version Control and define them as read only while you move it into the new project. That way he will be able to run the jobs but not change.

Check out Operators versus Developers when configuring user access.

Hi,
I am facing a problem related to this as when i make a user DS Operator he cannot see the job list in Director. ALthough Documentation says that DSOperator can run jobs.

Am i missing something here. how can i make a user DS Operator so that he can see the jobs/Logs and run the operations.

Thanks in advance.

The DS Operator role can never see job designs.

What you want to do can only be accomplished using operating system permissions on the relevant Repository tables. For jobs this is an all-or-nothing proposition - they can see all jobs but edit none, or they can edit all jobs. Individual jobs can be made read-only to everybody, or not read-only-to-everybody, using the READONLY attribute.

The Operator role is basically nerfed because it relies on a mechanism that most people no longer use. Operators can only see and run released jobs. As noted, released job have no design time information, so they can never be opened in Designer.

If you want to pursue use of this Operator role, you'll need to read up on the 'Release Job' option in the Manager.
