You will need root access to answer this question. If you are not the administrator of the server, then ask the administrator. As a non-root user you will not be able to read the permissions files.

You clearly do not have permission to schedule at jobs through cron. Unless you only want to run the job once you woud not use at , you would create a crontab entry.

they are in:

/etc/cron.d/cron.allow
/etc/cron.d/cron.deny
/etc/cron.d/at.allow
/etc/cron.d/at.deny
