Remarks

Proxy accounts allow for the impersonation of logins, server roles, and database roles when executing a job step in any subsystem other than Transact-SQL. In SQL Server Management Objects (SMO), the ProxyAccount object allows programmatic control over proxy accounts. The ProxyAccount object describes the relationship between an alternative (proxy) login account, a subsystem that is used for job step execution, and a list of Microsoft SQL Server logins, server roles, and database roles.

This namespace, class, or member is supported only in version 2.0 of the Microsoft .NET Framework.

To get ProxyAccount object properties, users must be a member of the SQLAgentOperatorRole on the MSDB database, or be a member of the sysadmin fixed server role.

To set ProxyAccount object properties, users must be a member of the sysadmin fixed server role.

To create or drop a proxy account, users must be a member of the sysadmin fixed server role.

To add or remove subsystems from the proxy account, users must be a member of the sysadmin fixed server role.
