Where to draw the line on scheduled agent jobs running without approval
A discussion about when a scheduled agent job should be allowed to run without a human sign-off. A practical rule emerges: reversible, low-cost actions can run freely, while anything that moves money, contacts customers, or deletes data should wait for approval. Scheduled jobs deserve special care because failures repeat quietly at 3am, so a short log of what each run did and why is the cheapest way to keep trust.
