  • What is the minimum permissions that a login needs in order to run a job. Trying to streamline job owners to one account.

  • I may not be remembering correctly how to do this in SQL 2000, but I think a non-sysadmin can only start a job he/she owns. A sysadmn member can start any job.

  • Yep, thats what I am finding out. But do I have to find out if the login has permission to backup and restore or what ever the job is doing?

  • Yes. You may want to find info about SQL Agent proxy accounts. There's not much in BOL, but you can find articles and threads that talk about it on sqlservercentral.com.
