Cannot set job alerts on Notifications tab if a non-sysadmin user

Platform: Win2000 SP3, SQL 7.00 - 7.00.1063

I have a SQL-authenticated user with the following permissions:
"Process Administrators" server role
"db_owner" and "TargetServersR ole" for msdb database
"db_owner" for master database.

The problem is that when this user opens up any job (i.e. owned by any
user) in the SQL Server Agent, and goes to the Notifications tab, the
first three alerts (Email, Page and Net send) are greyed out, i.e.
these cannot be set.
The other options are available (Write to Windows application event
log, Automatically delete job).

The only way I can achieve this is to give this user the "System
Administrators" server role, i.e. sa.
But this of course gives absolutely full access, which I don't want.
Is there a way for a user to see/change Notifications of jobs which
only he owns?

Unfortunately, only sysadmins can modify jobs belonging to other
users. If you want to make sure that all jobs have a standard set of
notifications, one solution might be to create an "add notifications"
job which loops through all users' jobs, and adds your notifications
to them. Or you could create your own modified versions of the msdb
stored procedures, without the check for sysadmin, but that would be a
more drastic solution, and more difficult to maintain.

thanks, yes I agree with you Simon, I think its a slight limitation of
SQL Server. I'll just manage the notifications centrally by sysadmins.

Hi, I posted this in the GotDotNet .NET Alerts forum, but that was 3 days ago and still no reply so I'll try my luck here.

Some of my power users create their own SQL Agent jobs. All well and good. However, I don't wish to give them System Administrator privileges, and when they create their jobs, the check box to "e-mail operator" in the job notifications tab is greyed out. Is this a feature? I'm having difficulty finding documentation on it, or even any mention, where a distinction is made between administrators and standard users. Other than setting up...

Hi All, I need to synchronize on multiple event notifications. After loading a number of scripts in my page ( using document.createElement('script') / appendChild ) I get a notification for each one after it is loaded. What I need before going further is to wait until the last notification was received.

Is it possible to disable/suppress alert popups in javascript? I need to write a function that will loop through a form's inputs and "manually" fire their onchange events (if found). Some of those functions could popup alert boxes which I'd like to be able to temporarily suppress. Thanks for any help.

I must use alerts in French with accented characters and what I get is gibberish. How can I display alert messages properly, as HTML character codes for accented characters don't work in javascript alerts? The scripts are stored in a .js file and I am referencing it from HTML. The HTML document is 4.01 Transitional and the language is UTF-8. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
