Cannot Monitor Scheduled Jobs (Insufficient Privileges) when Assigned "View Setup and Configuration" through Permission Set Rather Than Profile
Last updated 2022-02-10 ·Reference W-3004883 ·Reported By 1 users
Summary
According to the following article, if a User wants to navigate to Setup>Monitor>Jobs>Scheduled Jobs, they will only need "View Setup and Configuration" : https://help.salesforce.com/apex/HTViewHelpDoc?id=data_monitoring_jobs.htm&language=en_US
If "View Setup and Configuration" is enabled through profile permissions, they are able to do so without issue.
If instead, the user is granted "View Setup and Configuration" via permission set, they are indeed able to navigate setup, but clicking on "Scheduled Jobs" yields Insufficient Privileges.
Repro
1)Assign "View Setup and Configuration" to a profile
2)Login a user assigned to that profile, and go to Setup>Jobs>Scheduled Jobs
3)Notice that they can access this screen
4)Now unassign "View Setup and Configuration" from that profile.
5)Create a new Permission set, only enabling "View Setup and Configuration"
6)Assign the permission set to the user you logged in as
7)Login as that user again and navigate to Setup>Jobs>Scheduled Jobs
8)Insufficient Privileges
Workaround
Assign "View Setup and Configuration through the profile rather than via permission set.
