Certified Developer v6	Dave - 1/20/2014 3:08:07 PM Custom Scheduled Task not running under selected User Context Hi, I've written a custom Scheduled Task (ITask). I am finding that setting the User Context dropdown on the Task UI does not result in the task code having that user set under CMSContext.CurrentUser. Am I missing something, or is there a proper way to accomplish this? Thanks, Dave

RE:Custom Scheduled Task not running under selected User Context

Hi Dave,

Thank you for your message.

I believe that this is caused by the fact the the CMS.Context.CurrentUser is always holding a currently logged user. The setting in Scheduled task is to set in which context should the task run, not to override the CMS.Context.CurrentUser (that will always be you as a logged user). So you should alter your code in order to make it right, I hope this will help you in understanding the problem.

Kind regards,
Richard Sustek

Kentico Legend	Brenden Kehren - 1/21/2014 1:59:32 PM RE:Custom Scheduled Task not running under selected User Context In your custom code simply set the TaskInfo.TaskUserId property. public string Execute(TaskInfo ti) { ti.TaskUserID = 45; // or whatever user id you want to use // execute your switch statement and code.... }
