How to allow multiple users to manage application running on server?

Question

I'm not sure if the title makes sense. Hard question to ask.

I have an application running on a server under my network account, and it's scheduled to run daily.

I can remote in with my user credentials and check on the application.

What if I want more than one person to be able to remote in and check it? I can create a new account on the server, but it wouldn't have network rights and the application needs access to network folders.

What would be the best approach?

Thanks! :-)

P.S. Feel free to edit the tags. I can't figure out what to pick.

Answer 1

well, in Unix you'd create a group and add users to said group. I'm fairly certain you can do this on a windows server (make sure of course, that the group has permission to execute and read the app or the app's log files)

Answer 2

I would recommend your application writes out log files or status messages to a place the necessary users can see. They can see the status via logs or output and don't need access to the scheduled task itself.
