Owners are credentials under which jobs will be executed. For operating system jobs, owners are Operating System accounts.

Steps to add a job owner:
Using "Owner Authentication Setting" via Control-M Configuration Manager
- In the Control-M Configuration Manager, right click a Control-M/Server and click Security => Owners Authentication Settings.
- To add a job owner for an agent or remote host, click the plus symbol to display the New Owner Definition dialog box.
- Specify the owner and the host (Node ID). Note the owner must match as the job definition exactly, it is also case sensitive.
- To make this owner the default owner of all agents or remote hosts, specify <All> in the Host field. Ensure that you include the angle brackets when you specify <All>.
- In the Authentication Properties area, click the appropriate authentication method and fill in or select the authentication parameters as follows:
- For WMI connections, click Use Password Authentication, and then fill in the user name and password, and confirm the password. The user name should include the domain.
- For SSH connections, either:
  i.  Use Password Authentication and fill in and confirm the password
  ii. Use Key Authentication (SSH only), and fill in the Key Name and Passphrase values generated by the Control-M/Server ctmkeygen utility.
- Click Test to check that your settings are correct and workable.
- Click OK.
