Grant permissions to run an SQL server job
I have a job on my MSSQL server 2005, that I want to allow any database user to run.
I'm not worried about security, since the input to the job's actual work comes from a database table. Just running the job, without adding records to that table will do nothing.
I just can't find how to grant public permissions to the job.
Is there any way to do this? The only thing I can think of at this point is to have the job constantly running (or on a schedule), but since it only needs to do any actual work rarely (maybe once every few months) and I do want the work to be done as soon as it exists, this does not seem to be an optimal solution.

You could create a stored procedure that runs the job. You can use with execute as owner to run the stored procedure as the database owner. That way, the users themselves don't need permissons on sp_start_job.
create procedure dbo.DoYourJob
with execute as owner
as
exec sp_start_job @job_name = 'YourJob'
Grant execute rights on DoYourJob to allow people to start the job.
Of course, you can also put the contents of the job in a procedure, and grant rights to run that. That would allow more interaction, like displaying a result text.

This doesn't work. The non-privileged user can run the procedure, but the procedure cannot execute sp_start_job, because the user doesn't have permissions to execute it. I don't want the contents to be in a procedure, because I don't want the caller to need to wait for the job to end.
