Use a system property to set a role requirement for accessing the Script Background module.
Use the glide.script_processor.admin system property to set a required role to access the Scripts - Background module. If this property isn't set to the recommended value of
<kbd class="ph userinput">background_script_admin</kbd> or another high privileged role, users with lower privileged roles are able to run background scripts on your instance.

Ensure the property glide.script_processor.admin is set to <kbd class="ph userinput">background_script_admin</kbd>. This is also the default value.  
Warnung:  
This is a safe harbor property, meaning the value can't be altered once it's changed. It is non-revertible.
