Administrative Permissions for Scheduling Tasks

You can schedule tasks, such as adding IPv6 networks, for a future date and time. To schedule tasks, you must first enable the scheduling feature, and then define administrative permissions for admin groups and admin roles. Only superusers can enable and disable this feature and grant scheduling permissions to admin groups. Limited-access admin groups can schedule tasks only when they have the Scheduling Tasks permission.
Superusers can do the following:

• Enable and disable task scheduling
• Grant and deny scheduling permissions to admin groups and admin roles
• Schedule tasks for all supported object types
• Reschedule and delete any scheduled task

You can set global permissions to Schedule Tasks as described in /wiki/spaces/mgmadminguide/pages/911180974. The following table lists the tasks admins can perform and the required permissions. Users with Read/Write permission to scheduling can view, reschedule, and delete their own scheduled tasks.
