Security authorization for service level agreements

A computing device comprising:

• a communications interface circuit configured to communicate data with a job scheduler;
• and
• a processing circuit operatively connected to the communications interface circuit and configured to:
• receive a command to generate a view for a job comprising a plurality of constituent sub-jobs, wherein each constituent sub-job is hierarchically related to the iob, and comprises an application program that is executed in sequence by the job scheduler to perform the job, and wherein the plurality of constituent sub-jobs comprises a restricted sub-job that a user is not authorized to access;
• responsive to receiving the command to generate the view:
• determine whether the job is an authorized job that a user is authorized to access, or a restricted job that the user is not authorized to access, based on a job privilege level for the job assigned to the user;
• responsive to determining that the job is a restricted job:
• ignore the job privilege level for the user;
• temporarily authorize the user for limited access to the restricted sub-job;
• and
• generate the view for display to the user, wherein the view comprises a graphical indicator representing job execution data for the restricted job;
• and
• output the view to a graphical user interface (GUI) on a display device.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer program code stored thereon that, when executed by a processing circuit of a computing device, configures the processing circuit to:

• receive a command to generate a view for a job, wherein the job comprises a plurality of constituent sub-jobs, wherein each constituent sub-job is hierarchically related to the job, and comprises an application program that is executed in sequence by a job scheduler to perform the job, and wherein the plurality of constituent sub-jobs comprises a restricted sub-job that a user is not authorized to access;
• responsive to receiving the command to generate the view:
• determine whether the job is an authorized job that a user is authorized to access, or a restricted job that the user is not authorized to access, based on a job privilege level for the job assigned to the user;
• responsive to determining that the job is an authorized job that the user is authorized to access:
• ignore the job privilege level for the user;
• temporarily authorize the user for limited access to the restricted sub-job;
• and
• generate the view for display to the user, wherein the view comprises a graphical indicator representing job execution data for the restricted sub-job;
• and
• output the view to a graphical user interface (GUI) on a display device.
