can non sysadmins own jobs, and leave the job step's Run As blank
I am sure I have set this up in the past, but I do not have a suitable environment for testing this right now.
My recollection is that if the job owner account is also set up as a proxy account for the subsystem needed by the job step, then the step 'run as' can be blank.
