+9I am trying to find the right options for a limited user to be able to push
out a FileVault configuration. It works fine as an admin user, but so far
with the limited user account when I attempt to push the FileVault
configuration I get the error
"there was an error creating resources on the JSS"
I have tried this solution with no joy so far

I was able to kick out an encryption configuration with a tech user having the following permissions. We are running 9.65

+9@Kaltsas yes, but sadly no joy. If you have a limited access user working for such a task, would you be willing to share all privileges you currently have set for them?
+16What version of the JSS are you running? There was a bug at one point where you had to set the permissions in Casper Imaging Privileges to allowed to jigger some Casper Remote function to working correctly.
+16It's possible the bug hasn't been fixed, have you tried flipping the permissions in Casper Imaging Privileges to allowed?
+9Currently Casper Imaging Privileges has 3 options:
Use Casper Imaging (set)
Customize a Configuration (not set)
Store Autorun Data (not set)
+16Our encryption policy is in self service, but I had gotten that error with techs doing other functions in Casper Remote. Let me fire up a test machine and I'll try to push an encryption configuration to it with a tech account.
+9I updated the Casper Imaging Privileges 3 options:
Use Casper Imaging (set)
Customize a Configuration (set)
Store Autorun Data (set)
still no joy

+9Thanks for the configuration info! Verifying all these settings and I am now able to schedule the job successfully, but it fails on authentication.
I think I have a larger problem: Even as an admin user, attempting to use Casper Remote to screen share a computer, I get an error that an incorrect username/password is entered for this computer.
I have updated permissions for a limited access user and have been able to successfully start the FileVault configuration job, but it errors out while authenticating.'
When I attempt to user this account to screen share, I get the same incorrect username/password is entered for this computer error
What username/password is in use for Casper Remote functions?
+16My inclination is the casper management account/credentials are used for the actual execution of these functions by the jamfbinary on the target system. Do you have a policy in place that randomizes the management account? This seems like, potentially, the JSS has inaccurate information about the management account on the target system.
+18I think there is another thread talking about general casper remote issues in the newer versions that would be worth checking for.
