While building with Azure Automation, I noticed that certain fields of the object returned by Get-AzAutomationJob in powershell are always null. Here is an example:
The JobParameters and StartedBy fields always return null, regardless of the actual job implementation. If the job is scheduled, null. If the job is manually run, null. With or without parameters, still null. Is this by design, or is this a known issue?
Hi @Kenneth
Yes, this is an expected behavior.
It resulted from the GDPR work that was done a few years back. At the time it was decided that Automation should not audit/store personal data as Activity Logs already provide auditing capabilities.
Understood. I appreciate the explanation. If I require any user auditing in the future, I will look to Activity Logs as a solution.
It's a pleasure to help where I can.

Hi, that is not correct, when you run the Get-AzAutomationJob with a specific ID like
"Get-AZAutomationJob -AutomationAccountName $AutomationAccount -resourceGroupNAme $ResourceGroupName -JobID 8d64a149-bff1-484f-a436-f0b4f3665b68"
You get all those Details you asked for
