1. What is the nature and description of the request?
The customer is requesting that non-admin users be allowed to cancel jobs that were started via a schedule, provided they have appropriate permissions (such as Execute) on the job template.
Currently, in Ansible Automation Platform (AAP), when a job is launched through a scheduler, only admins can cancel it—even if a non-admin user has permission to run or manage the job template. Additionally, the "Launched By" field shows the schedule name instead of a user, making it unclear who owns or initiated the job.
2. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)
The inability for non-admin users to cancel scheduled jobs creates operational delays and requires escalation to system administrators, which is inefficient and not scalable.
3. How would you like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)
- Grant users with Execute or Admin rights on a job template the ability to cancel scheduled jobs triggered by that template.
- Provide more clarity in the UI on who owns the scheduled job, such as showing the user or group that created the schedule in the “Launched By” field instead of the schedule name.
