HRESULT GetDatabaseUserName(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);
HRESULT SetDatabaseUserName(SQLDMO_LPCSTR NewValue);
Note SQL-DMO strings are always returned as OLE BSTR objects. A C/C++ application obtains a reference to the string. The application must release the reference using SysFreeString.
Remarks
A SQL Server Agent job step can execute by assuming the privilege of a database user. Change the DatabaseUserName property to set the user execution context for a job step. The default value is "dbo", and job steps execute using database owner permissions.
