Not out of the box. I think you should consult with an authorized reseller that can handle customization via API for this.

I think this would be moderately complex and involve a plugin of its own perhaps. To enforce the "created by" logic, you might need to customize the Job Processor or the way jobs are submitted. This could involve: 1- adding a custom property to jobs that indicates the creator or the creator's machine, 2- customizing the Job Processor to check this property and decide whether to process the job based on its match with the current machine's identifier.

Another alternative is to simplify your problem by department instead of by user/PC. Each department submits jobs that are only relevant to their department's Job Processor, and each JP is dedicated to those tasks tagged within.

The question I have is why does every user's machine have to run the Job Processor?

Depending on the quantity of Jobs, you could be running a dedicated machine for the Job Processor, and it might be able to keep up with the demand.

In my case i have a customer which has a machine with a AutoCAD license.

He only wants to perform his AutoCAD Jobs which needs a fully installed AutoCAd with a license.
So if we have another JobProcessor it is not secure that they not run on licensing error.

The Job Processor does not need AutoCAD for the out-of-the-box jobs.
