Permissions

This stored procedure is owned by the db_owner role. You can grant EXECUTE permissions for any user, but these permissions may be overridden during a SQL Server upgrade.

Other users must be granted one of the following SQL Server Agent fixed database roles in the msdb database:

SQLAgentUserRole
SQLAgentReaderRole
SQLAgentOperatorRole

For details about the permissions of these roles, see SQL Server Agent Fixed Database Roles.

Members of SQLAgentUserRole can only view jobs that they own. Members of sysadmin, SQLAgentReaderRole, and SQLAgentOperatorRole can view all local and multiserver jobs.

Examples

A. List information for all jobs

The following example executes the sp_help_job procedure with no parameters to return the information for all of the jobs currently defined in the msdb database.

USE msdb;
GO

EXEC dbo.sp_help_job;
GO

B. List information for jobs matching a specific criteria

The following example lists job information for the multiserver jobs owned by françoisa where the job is enabled and executing.

USE msdb;
GO

EXEC dbo.sp_help_job
   @job_type = N'MULTI-SERVER',
   @owner_login_name = N'françoisa',
   @enabled = 1,
   @execution_status = 1;
GO

C. List all aspects of information for a job

The following example lists all aspects of the information for the job NightlyBackups.

USE msdb;
GO

EXEC dbo.sp_help_job
    @job_name = N'NightlyBackups',
    @job_aspect = N'ALL';
GO
