Django is a web framework. A web page can't pass data to a utility function directly. The only way the browser can communicate with the server is via a web request to a URL that is handled by a view. That view can then call any functions in your utils module, and return the result back to the user in the HTTP response.

            Run scheduled task as local user group (not BUILTIN)

            Image
            0 I am trying to run a scheduled task with User Group (not a single user). This is working fine when I in the field "when running a task, use the following user account:" insert BUILTIN User Group (for example: Administrators or Users). But when I try it with the created Local User Group (example: TestGroup) it is not working. The Users in the TestGroup are the same as in the Administrators group. What could be the problem? Are there some restrictions to the Created User Group compared to BUILTINUsers? scheduled-tasks taskscheduler windowstaskschedule share | improve this question asked Nov 15 '18 at 15:36 Far...
