Hello Guys
Iam trying to make the SQL Server Agent read only for a particular group of users.

First thing I did was I took off the group of users from the SQL Server administrator previleges

Then I normally added them to the server logins so that they can log into the server.

Then I gave them access to the MSDB database so that they can access the SQL Agent Job Specific stored procedures.

Then I granted them execute permission on all the SQL Agent Stored procedures (Thought I would first make it work then I will make it read only by taking off permission on the Job changing stored procs).

Now When i login as one of the users of the group and try to view the jobs. I still cannot see any of the jobs listed. and when i try to run the stored proc "exec sp_help_job", it still does not list any of the jobs.

Can anyone tell me if I am missing something.
Thanks

There is no strait forward way other than TargetServerRole in msdb as mentioned where as in SQL Server 2005 new roles introduced for this type of acess...
