To get the permissions that you need for the operations described on this page,
ask your administrator to grant you the IAM roles on your
Cloud Run job:
Cloud Scheduler Admin
(roles/cloudscheduler.admin), or a custom role with the
cloudscheduler.jobs.create permission
Cloud Run Invoker (roles/run.invoker)
to execute jobs using the Google Cloud CLI, or Cloud Run Developer
(roles/run.developer) to execute jobs using the Google Cloud console

[Go to Cloud Run jobs](https://console.cloud.google.com/run/jobs)\n\n2. Click the job you want to execute on a schedule.\n\n3. Click the **Triggers** tab.\n\n4. Click **Add Scheduler Trigger**.\n\n5. If you haven't yet enabled the Cloud Scheduler API for your project, you\n are prompted to do so in the far right panel: click **Enable API**.\n\n6. Fill out the Cloud Scheduler job form\n\n7. Under *Define a schedule*:\n\n 1. Give your Cloud Scheduler job a name.\n\n 2. Select a region for your Cloud Scheduler job. It does not need to\n match the region used for the Cloud Run job.\n\n 3. Specify the **frequency** for your job execution, using the [unix-cron](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/crontab.5.html) format, for example, `0 12 * * *`\n\n 4. Select your timezone.\n\n8. Click **Continue**.\n\n9. In the **Service Account** dropdown menu, select a service account\n that has the permission to invoke the current Cloud Run service.\n\n10. Click **Create** to create the Cloud Scheduler job that will execute\n the Cloud Run job at the specified frequency.\n\n### Command line\n\n1. Make sure you [create a Cloud Run job first](/run/docs/create-jobs).\n\n2. Run the command:\n\n ```bash\n gcloud scheduler jobs create http SCHEDULER_JOB_NAME \\\n --location SCHEDULER_REGION \\\n --schedule=\"\u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003eSCHEDULE\u003c/var\u003e\" \\\n --uri=\"https://run.googleapis.com/v2/projects/\u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003ePROJECT-ID\u003c/var\u003e/locations/\u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003eCLOUD_RUN_REGION\u003c/var\u003e/jobs/\u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003eJOB-NAME\u003c/var\u003e:run\" \\\n --http-method POST \\\n --oauth-service-account-email PROJECT-NUMBER-compute@developer.gserviceaccount.com\n ```\n\n Replace\n - \u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003eSCHEDULER_JOB_NAME\u003c/var\u003e with the name you want to give your scheduler job.\n - \u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003eSCHEDULER_REGION\u003c/var\u003e with a region supported by Cloud Scheduler, for example, `europe-west2`.\n - \u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003eCLOUD_RUN_REGION\u003c/var\u003e with the region for the your Cloud Run job.
