I write automation scripts at work in python and I have a question about how to grant other people access to run the script without granting them access to the Linux server. Does anyone know of an application and/or utility that will allow (authorized) users to click a button or such and have a script run on a remote Linux server without the (non-Linux) user having to login to the Linux server? ---

Thanks, I’ll take a look at Rundeck. Someone on Matrix suggested [cronicle](https://github.com/cronicle-edge/cronicle-edge), which I’m looking at right now. EDIT: That link is actually to cronicle-edge, which is a fork that included LDAP support (don’t ask). ---

Rundeck is just a bare basic “centralized cron” so to speak, which has the option to run jobs on-demand with the click of a button. You can have Rundeck admins (who create jobs and schedules) and rundeck operators, who just view jobs and maybe trigger jobs if they have permissions. I used rundeck to run Oracle backups (don’t ask) and the DBAs would need to run their backups on-demand from time to time, so this made it easier for them. ---

I think you can use automation tools like Ansible or Jenkins to run the script remotely. ---

How does Ansible or Jenkins provide security controls for granting execute only access to a script on a remote host? ---

Thanks, I’ll take a look at those.
