Agent Specific Tasks
Certain Privilege Manager tasks are directly related to agent processes and their operational loads.
Server side tasks, also known as Remote Client Scheduled Commands do not require a policy. Agent tasks require a policy. These types of tasks are with the exception of one, by default enabled and run on a scheduled basis. Most are read-only system tasks, that can be copied, renamed, and then customized.
The majority will run for the first time after system initialization.
