Maybe I don't understand the problem.
The Control/M agent processes normally runs with root account and you can choose the account under wich the job runs with the owner field on job definition.
You can choose any account you want as owner of the job. For Control/M agent there are no problems.
Obviously the job process will run under root account and there will be all the normal security problems on systems.

Hi Philmalmaison,

Do you know what are the changes that need to be made in the OS.dat file.

You can use UserExit 102 to restrict submission of job as root owner
This UserExit would chage the owner name "root" to something else before submittnig the job for execution
for this we have to make some modifications in the config.dat file.

For detail information please refer COTNROL-M server Administration Guide
