Steps to Reproduce

1) Schedule an agent to run an activity which includes a step to run a report.

Root Cause

An issue in the custom application code or rules:

The access group was not specified for the Agent Schedule instance
 

The following points of information my also be of help in diagnosing similar cases:

1) When someone manually updates the AgentSchedule instances, they stop being in sync with the Agent. So any changes done to Agent access group after this will not sync to Agent schedule instances. 

2) Advanced agents use the access group field specified in the Agents security tab. If no access group is specified, it uses the default access group specified in the Batch requestor type. Normally it is PRPC:Agents access group but it can be overridden. 

Resolution

Perform the following local-change: Specify the appropriate access group on the Security tab of the Agent Schedule instance.
