About quick jobs

A quick job allows you to immediately deploy a component without having to create and schedule the job. Components must first be downloaded from the ComStore into your Component Library. Refer to ComStore. Components can only be added from the ComStore if you have Manage access to ComStore. Refer to Security Level Details - Permissions.

Quick jobs always run in the LocalSystem Account, but it is possible to force the execution of a script to run in the context of the local user by instead creating a scheduled job and selecting the Run as a logged in user option within the Execution section. Refer to Execution.

Similar to scheduled jobs, quick jobs can be run against individual devices, sites, filters, or groups.
