The SELECT permission was denied on the object 'sysjobs', database 'msdb', schema 'dbo'
I'm getting the following error when trying to read a SQL Job. The SELECT permission was denied on the object 'sysjobs', database 'msdb', schema 'dbo' How can I fix this? You need to GRANT the SELECT permission for the user of your job. A simple GRANT . USE pubs GO GRANT SELECT ON authors TO public GO Further information about GRANT You use the "SQL Server Agent Fixed Database Roles" in msdb (MSDN link): don't assigned permission directly, it'll be a pain to manage And a "how to" for SSMS: "How to: Configure a User to Create and Manage SQL Server Agent Jobs (SQL Server Management Studio)" Note
