Encountering an issue where if I run the worker as another user it doesn't pick up my jobs anymore and they stay as Late, but if I start the worker with the original user it picks it up right away again. I didn't know windows user account plays a part in the worker-pool. If user account plays a part, anyway I can change the user that I want the worker pool to start under?

When a flow status is

late

, it means agent or worker has not picked it up. I'd take a look at the logs emitted by the worker.

I know you can run Prefect as another user / service account (via systemd or the task scheduler in windows), but yea - if they are going into late, they aren’t being picked up. I’d make sure it runs “ok” first as the other user (could be permissions / directory / access?)

I see, thank you, I'll take a look!
