Running slave service using user A but render jobs using B

Deadline

Hi there,

Would it be possible to run deadline slave service as user A (a generic user in our case), but render (maya in our case) jobs as user B (actual user)?

Thanks
Sujay

Hey Sujay,

We do offer Render Job as User support. This will allow you to run the Deadline Service/Daemon as a generic user but have the job process (maya) start under a specific user. Please find out how to do this in our Render Environment Documentation linked below.
