2. In the navigation pane, choose Scheduled Task.

   The Scheduled Task page is displayed.

3. Click the button of creating a task in the upper right corner of the page.

   The dialog box of creating a task is displayed.

   The page of selecting target objects is displayed.

   

   After you click Next: Select Objects, the authorization description is displayed for the first time.

   Cloud service administrator permissions: Workspace supports scheduled system disk recomposing and auto scaling. Therefore, the tenant administrator permissions are required.
