Fix required : Not able to restart RBF job from GUI, when the job is triggered as 'API-Only' user

Issue : When the RBF job which gets triggered from API as "API-Only" user fails, we are not able to restart the job from GUI as "normal" user.
Note: GUI is logged in as 'normal' user

Work around TSR provided : Use SQL to update the build ownership to a normal console user in the database and restart the build via console UI

Challenges with the workaround :
1. We need to get RBF server backend access and RBF DB schema access for all the GUI users (deployers) which is not recommended
2. It is very difficult to execute the query for every failed job

What we expect : A solution to restart the failed jobs without running DB query
Other Concerns : Currently we are running on RBF version 7.1.3.3. We have approximately 300+ RBF agents. If the Fix for the issue is provided in next release(probably version 8.0.0.x), we will have difficulty in upgrading RBF to 8.0.0.x version since upgrading all 300+ agents to 8.0.0.x version is a huge effort. Hence the fix is expected to be a patch in the exiting RBF version.

    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each enhancement suggestion. The offering team has carefully reviewed this idea and has decided that it does not fit into our current plans, the age of the RFE suggests it is outdated or has been delivered over the time, so the idea will be closed. The idea will be kept in IBM's ideas repository and may still be voted on. It might be reassessed or reopened for additional feedback in the future. We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us the privilege of partnering with you in developing our products.
