I see cron is running, but jobs in crontab do not execute

I resolved my issue.

On MacOS (vix cron) the option to specify a user for execution is not supported. I removed the user (root), and cron is executing.

I have updated the Operating System. I see cron is running - yet executes nothing.

Since I was unable to add cron to "Full Disk Access" via CLI, I did this though the UI

grant@ef-io04dm:~[20220903-7:14][#70108]% sudo sqlite3 /Library/Application\ Support/com.apple.TCC/TCC.db 'select client,auth_value from access where service = "kTCCServiceSystemPolicyAllFiles"'

My cron executions still fail.
