Maintain Jobs, View Logs

I have a user who needs to check whether 2 jobs have run on a SQL Server
2000 instance, and be able to view logs.
Is there a way of doing this, and not allowing them access to anything
else?

Does the use have EM on his/her workstation?
Does the user have permissions to run the job?

1. Create a SP using the following script. Just mention your job names in
the following line of the script:
--sj.name in ('Job1', 'Job2') and
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.read_jobhistory
as
select sjh.server, sj.name, case sjh.run_status
when 0 then 'Failed'
when 1 then 'Succeeded'
when 2 then 'Retry'
when 3 then 'Canceled'
when 4 then 'In progress'
end as 'Job Status',
sjh.sql_message_id, sjh.sql_severity,sjh.message,
convert(datetime, cast (sjh.run_date as char(8)) + ' ' +
left(right('000000' + cast (sjh.run_time as varchar(6)),6),2) + ':' +
substring(right('000000' + cast (sjh.run_time as varchar(6)),6),3,2) + ':' +
right('000000' + cast (sjh.run_time as varchar(6)),2))as 'Run Date',
sjh.run_duration, sjh.operator_id_emailed,
sjh.operator_id_netsent, sjh.operator_id_paged, sjh.retries_attempted
from
msdb..sysjobhistory sjh
join msdb..sysjobs sj
on sjh.job_id = sj.job_id
where
sj.name in ('Job1', 'Job2') and
step_id = 0
and sjh.run_date >= convert(char(10),getdate(),112)
order by sjh.server, sj.name, sjh.run_date, sjh.run_time
2. Grant Execution on this SP to the concerned user.
3. The concerned user can get the report for the today's date just by
executing the SP.
