About this tag
The permissionproblems tag covers issues where Windows tasks or scripts fail due to permission or user context settings, even when the account appears to have sufficient rights. A common example is a Task Scheduler batch job that runs correctly when the user is logged on but fails when set to run whether the user is logged on or not, often hanging or not completing.
