  • the worker process runs as either a Windows service or a daemon owned by the root user on OS X and linux.
  • the worker process will run jobs under a user other than root or the system service. This user is determined by the proxy_execution_mode value:
    • proxy_execution_mode = proxy means it will always authenticate as the user defined in proxy_account.
    • proxy_execution_mode = user means it will always authenticate as the user who submitted the job.
    NOTE:
    Note

    the worker process will be unable to access screenspace on Windows and OS X; no processes will be able to render to a hardware buffer, applications that can only run by displaying their full GUI will usually not be able to start, etc.

  • the worker process is started by a logged in user, usually when that user logs in, and is killed when the user logs out
  • the worker process is owned by the logged in user
  • the worker process does not re-authenticate, and all jobs are run by the user who owns the worker process
  • the worker process has full access to the screenspace
