Lack of interest Always run jobs as guest

[Kirby]

It would be nice if all jobs were run as a guest.

While this is not technically necessary, it could help to prevent bugs like https://xenforo.com/community/threads/xfa-media-of-the-month-xf2-paid.151970/post-1293110

Jobs (via job.php) are run as a guest -- we don't start the session, so the visitor won't be set via that, thus defaulting to a guest. Admittedly, manual runs via the ACP may be a little different, but that's not related to the example error.

Indeed, that error message is actually indicative that it is run as a guest. If it were run as a real user, there would be a valid user name. (You can also see the "unknown account" reference in the error log.)

That's exactly the point of the suggestion

If you manually execute a cronjob from the backend, the environment is different so bugs like the one linked above might go unnoticed.

Therefore I'd appreciate if jobs would always (no mattter if triggered manually or automatically) be executed as a guest.
