The Control‑M/EM user specified by this parameter must possess a valid user ID registered in the Control-M installation. Authority to perform actions is verified by Control‑M/Server security exits.

This parameter is used by the Control-M/Server for verifying if the owner of the job has authorization to submit the job processing definition during the submission of jobs by the New Day Procedure. If the AuthorSecurity system parameter is set to author security mode 2 or 3 (restricted), you cannot edit the Created by field unless you are a Control‑M/EM administrator and are online (that is, connected to a GUI server). For more information, see Control-M security and the description of the AuthorSecurity system parameter in Control-M Administration.

NOTE: Depending on the value of the AuthorSecurity system variable, this parameter may be disabled.
