Resolution

If the service account is changed, or for any reason these rights are not assigned, any of these individual rights can be applied to user accounts via Windows Local Security Policies (User Rights Assignments).

IMPORTANT NOTE: While it may not be necessary to have all of these rights assigned for your particular jobs to run successfully, if you are experiencing issues executing jobs it is suggested you try enabling these rights as a trouble-shooting step.
