# Jobs: Track Who Jobs Belong To

## Description

Some features in Genenetwork require long-running processes to be triggered and run in the background. We have a way to trigger such background processes, but there is no way of tracking who started what job, and therefore, no real way for a user to list only their jobs.

This issue will track the introduction of such tracking. This will enable the building new job-related functionality such as a user being able to:
* list their past, unexpired jobs
* delete past jobs
* possibly rerun jobs that failed but are recoverable
* see currently running jobs, and their status
