+4Issue: All Self Service policies run as Root.
Objective: Disable User's Screen Lock

+25$3 is only the current user if the script is being run as a login policy.
Here's a previous previously posted thread on how to find the current user if you're not running at login: Running a script as the logged in user
I modified the script this way:
Objective was to run it on a specific set of machines after login without involving the users.
#!/bin/sh
path="/Users/$3/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver"
su - $3 -c "defaults write "$path" askForPassword -int 0"
su - $3 -c "defaults write "$path" idleTime -int 7200"
su - $3 -c "defaults write "$path" askForPassword -bool false"
su - $3 -c "chown $3:staff $path.plist"
