function Set-DbaJobOwner { <# .SYNOPSIS Sets SQL Agent job owners with a desired login if jobs do not match that owner. .DESCRIPTION This function will alter SQL Agent Job ownership to match a specified login if their current owner does not match the target login. By default, the target login will be 'sa', but the fuction will allow the user to specify a different login for ownership. The user can also apply this to all jobs or only to a select list of jobs (passed as either a comma separated list or a string array).
