I'm using HTCondor for past one year to run jobs across the machine pool which i submit using admin privilages. But, now i want to submit the job as a normal user who is not a admin. If i try to submit the following message is showing "Error: failed to create proc".

How did you install HTCondor on your submit machine? If you download the tarball for linux and run the make-personal-from-tarball script, the configuration restricts who can submit jobs.
If you installed HTCondor from linux native packages and started the daemons as root, then submission by other user accounts should work. What does the command ‘condor_config_val ALLOW_WRITE’ print?
If you’re using Windows, did you run the condor_store_cred command from the non-admin account?
