Remarks
By default, any SQL Server login has membership, through the user guest, in the public role of the system database maintaining SQLServerAgent jobs (msdb). When a SQL Server user is created in msdb, jobs created by the user mapping the login are owned by the login, not the user.
Reassigning SQLServerAgent job ownership by using the ReAssignJobsByLogin method requires appropriate permission. The SQL Server login used for SQLServer object connection must be a member of the fixed role sysadmin.
