function Set-DbaJobOwner {
    <#
        .SYNOPSIS
            Sets SQL Agent job owners with a desired login if jobs do not match that owner.
 
        .DESCRIPTION
            This function alters 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 the user may specify a different login for ownership. This be applied to all jobs or only to a select collection of jobs.

        .PARAMETER SqlInstance
            Specifies the SQL Server instance(s) to scan.
 
        .PARAMETER SqlCredential
            Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Windows and SQL Authentication supported. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential)
 
        .PARAMETER Job
            Specifies the job(s) to process. Options for this list are auto-populated from the server. If unspecified, all jobs will be processed.
 
        .PARAMETER ExcludeJob
            Specifies the job(s) to exclude from processing. Options for this list are auto-populated from the server.
 
        .PARAMETER Login
            Specifies the login that you wish check for ownership. This defaults to 'sa' or the sysadmin name if sa was renamed. This must be a valid security principal which exists on the target server.
 
        .PARAMETER WhatIf
            If this switch is enabled, no actions are performed but informational messages will be displayed that explain what would happen if the command were to run.
 
        .PARAMETER Confirm
            If this switch is enabled, you will be prompted for confirmation before executing any operations that change state.
 
        .PARAMETER EnableException
            By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
            This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.
            Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.
