administering jobs and targetserversrole

Hi all,
Hoping that someone else has tried to allow non sa people the ability to
administer jobs on a server. My situation is this:
My goal is to allow my developers to create and modify jobs on our
development server. To this end, I have put the developers (who are dbo in
their respective db), in an nt group and put them in the targetserversrole
in msdb on the server. In addition, by changing the role and granting
execute to the add,delete,and update job stored procedure groups and the job
start and stop stored procedures I am able to allow the group to add and
modify jobs, except for one item in the job and that is to set up job
notifications. I have tried granting the add,update and delete notification
group but that doesn't do it as the check boxes are still disabled for the
developers when they look at that part of the job. Does anyone know what I
am missing in this plan? Thanks in advance for any help solving this.>

With SQL Server 2000, you need to be a sysadmin to be able to FULLY
ADMINISTER SQL Agent jobs.
Hope this helps,
