You need to have a SysAdmin give the scheduling user permissions to do so. That means an entry in both cron.allow and at.allow will need to be made for each user.

I do not have idea how to give those cros.sllow and at.allow and where.

As noted a SysAdmin needs to do it, not you.

Hmmm... if you are (or were) a SysAdmin then you should already know the answer.

Check under /etc for the .allow and .deny files for cron and at. Add the user name to whichever is appropriate. Create them if need be.

at.allow
at.deny
cron.allow
cron.deny

"cron" is used for recurring schedules and "at" is used for singleton runs.
