System admins and data stewards require job manager / scheduler tools and access

Data Stewards need a global view of scheduled jobs (i.e. what jobs have been scheduled for when) for specific projects.

Data Stewards need the ability to manage jobs that have been scheduled as a group as opposed to one by one, for example stopping them from running during system maintenance. 

The system administrator needs to be able to see and manage job schedules globally across all projects.

Failed scheduled jobs need to be able to be either restarted or rerun instead of simply failing. Data rules are usually scheduled to run yearly, quarterly, monthly, weekly or daily.  It would be good to have capabilities within the internal scheduler to manage how failures or missed executions are handled. 

Stewards and admins need to be able to manage all of the jobs that produce output and to get reporting on the space taken up by the job output in aggregate and by jobs. There are a lot of ways to do this but consider having several hundred rules producing tabular output. Sensible default behavior for output cleanup would also be a way to address this.
