Who owns a Job?

  • Is it possible to assign a role as the owner of a job?

    As I see it, I can only have a single user as the owner of a job but I want several different people to be able to run certain jobs. If I could assign the people to a role and make the role the owner of the jobs they need to run, then this would suit me fine.

    Currently, when they need to run the job they log in with a single account which has appropriate privileges but due to other security 'enhancements' this account is going to disappear.

    Any ideas?

  • Roles should be a bunch of privileges assigned to users.For a bunch of privileges to own a job may be an interesting feature.

    My opinion "I am not sure roles could own a job"

  • if you're talking about SQL Agent jobs, they correspond to logins (sysjobs has a sid column as a result). Since roles (at least ones we can define) are at the database level, they can't be assigned as the owner of a job.

  • BKelley is correct, I can't think of any reason why you would want a role to be an owner.
