sysadmin & db_owner have limited scope till database (or database server). You are blocked by IT dept. and the account you are using for running the jobs doesn't belong to Domain Admin (or Local Admin) group.

Under properties of SQL Server Agent there's a setting under the job system

tab:"Non-sysadmin job step proxy account" and create proxy account.

There are ways to allow for the system to execute xp_CmdShell and for users to execute stored procedures that contain xp_CmdShell without the users being able to execute xp_CmdShell and without users having anything more than PUBLIC privs. Google for Erland Sommarskog's articles on the subject.

Create a proxy and execute the job with the proxy account.

Create a proxy and execute the job with the proxy account.

Basically, yes. You just need to do it in a way where the low-priv user doesn't even need IMPERSONATE privs.

If the service account used by the Agent is already SA in the SQL Server then check the owner of the job. This login should be an SA account within SQL server as well.
