object.ReAssignJobsByLogin( OldLogin , NewLogin )
| Part | Description |
|---|---|
| object | Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list. |
| OldLogin | String specifying a login currently owning jobs. |
| NewLogin | String specifying a login with job creation rights. The login specified will receive ownership. |
By default, any SQL Server login has membership, through the user guest, in the public role of the system database maintaining SQL Server Agent jobs (msdb). When a SQL Server user is created in msdb, jobs created by the user mapping the login are owned by the login, not the user.
Reassigning SQL Server Agent job ownership by using the ReAssignJobsByLogin method requires appropriate privilege. The SQL Server login used for SQLServer object connection must be a member of the fixed role sysadmin.
