Owner Property (Job, JobFilter)

This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.

The Owner property exposes the Microsoft SQL Server user-assigned ownership rights to the referenced SQL Server element.

Syntax

object
.Owner [= value]

Parts

  • object
    An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list

  • value
    A string that identifies a database user by name

Data Type

String

Modifiable

Read/write

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT GetOwner(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);
HRESULT SetOwner(SQLDMO_LPCSTR NewValue);

Note

SQL Distributed Management Objects (SQL-DMO) strings are always returned as OLE BSTR objects. A C/C++ application obtains a reference to the string. The application must release the reference using SysFreeString.

Remarks

SQL Server establishes ownership rules for agent jobs. Some permissions default to a job owner, and ownership forms one portion of SQL Server access control.

Set the Owner property of a Job object to change ownership for the referenced job. The value must specify an existing SQL Server database user. Permission to change job ownership defaults to members of the sysadmin group.

Set the Owner property of the JobFilter object to list jobs based on assigned owner. Set the Owner property of the JobFilter to an empty string to discontinue listing based on ownership.
