Stefan, I have set this parameter PROCESSAUTHMODE to NONE in staf.cfg, without that it is not allowing to execute the statement. It always tries to execute as root and there it fails.

See 4.7, "Operational parameters" for more information on how to enable the PROCESSAUTHMODE operational parameter. There are additional requirements that must be met to run a process under a different username on a Windows system. See "Starting a Process Under a Different User on Windows" for more information. [...] PROCESSAUTHMODE specifies the mode by which usernames/passwords are authenticated when starting processes. The value of this option is platform specific. Recognized values are the following: DISABLED - This indicates that the user may not specify a username/password with which to authenticate when starting a process. This mode is available on all platforms. This is default mode. WINDOWS - This indicates that windows-based authentication should be used. This mode is only available on Windows systems. See "Starting a Process Under a Different User on Windows" for more information. NONE - This indicates that usernames will be honored but not authenticated. In this mode, passwords are ignored and processes are started under the indicated username. This mode is only available on Unix systems. Have you set that parameter?
