Is 'run_as' user available from jobs api 2.1?

[156190]

I know that the run_as user generally defaults to the creator_user, but I would like to find the defined run_as user for each of our jobs. Unfortunately, I'm unable to locate that field in the api.

Hi @Keller, Michael​,

Thanks for reaching out to us. In order to update run_as_user in API 2.1, you need to change the job owner to the respective user defined in the access_control_list.

Thank you. Unfortunately, I am not trying to update the run_as_user, but I am trying to retrieve it.

Upon closer reading of the yaml for Jobs API 2.1, it looks like run_as_user for a job is available via 'get' (for an individual job), but is not returned as part of 'list'. So it appears the confusion is mine.

I would suggest that in the future, perhaps ownership/privilege information would be valuable as part of job list retrieval.

Thanks for the help!

thanks, I picked my own reply as the 'right' answer. i'd still recommend that the jobs api perhaps incorporate run-as-user in the 'list' method, rather than only in job details.
