That "operator" role is severely nerfed / broken in any pre-8.x version and only allows people in that role to see released jobs, something virtually no-one does any longer.

The only good news is if you upgraded it would work as expected. Otherwise, you'll need some other mechanism to deliver job logs to a 'safe' location that your developers (inexperienced or otherwise) can access. Not a trivial undertaking but something people have done in your shoes.

I'm sure others will come along with suggestions as well.

Thanks, I knew about the released jobs but that only works for Server jobs and 95% of my jobs are parallel so that's why I can't really release them. I guess I was just hoping for a different answer.

Perhaps someone else has had a similar issue about being forced to open up their prod environment to inexperienced users.

Thanks again,
Thanks,
