Owner Property (Job, JobFilter) (SQL-DMO)

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

Applies To

Job Object

JobFilter Object

Syntax

object.Owner [= value]

Part	Description
object	Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list
value	String identifying a database user by name

Remarks

SQL Server establishes ownership rules for agent jobs. Some permissions default to a job’s 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.

Data Type

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT GetOwner(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);

HRESULT SetOwner(SQLDMO_LPCSTR NewValue);

Note 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 by using SysFreeString.
