When creating a job step in SQL Server 2008 R2 Agent, the third dropdown in the General page is "Run as:" – but this is empty, and seems to always be empty! What is it for?
Thanks

The "Run As" is so that you can specify a proxy account to run the particular step as. The proxy account defines the security context that a job step can run as.
