privileges can specify a different user with the user argument.

assigned by at or batch. If you do not have appropriate privileges, you can remove
only your own jobs. The atrm command is available to users with appropriate
privileges to remove jobs issued by other users or all jobs issued by a specific user.
This flag can also be used in combination with the -i, -f, and -u flags.
