Help with Proxy Account

  • How to setup a proxy account in 2K5 where a person can execute a job when he is not owner of that?

    My understanding:

    1.Create a Windows Group. Add that person there

    2.Create a credential in SQL Server. Add that Windows account there. (But what should I give as password?)

    3.Create a proxy in Agent. Add MSDB’s Operator role to that account. Add the newly credential to that proxy

    Is there something wrong in these steps? Please let me know as I need to do it on a Prod directly.

    Thanks a lot…

  • Hope this helps.
