Hi Baker

Append the below given lines in your condor_config (global file) at the end of the file, do a reconfig, if possible condor_restart -all and then check.

START : Owner == "whateverusername" || Owner == "condor" || Owner == "whateverusername" || Owner == "whateverusername" || Owner == "whateverusername"
START : True
SUSPEND : False
CONTINUE : True
PREEMPT : False
KILL : False
