Hi Ragna,

Go to SM37 --> select the job --> from Menu Job --> Copy it will show a screen with new Job name. If you want to give a new name to the job you can give it there else if you dont want to change the name Just click on Copy. Now the job is created under your name and it will be in scheduled status.You can select the job and change the start conditions and you can also disable/delete the old job.

One thing to remember is when executing the job , it checks the authorization of step user not the user who create the user.You can see that by double clicking the job --> Step , this will show you the report which that job execute with varients if any and stepuser ( under column User ) . If you want to change that user , you can change that in change mode .

Thanks
