USE msdb ;  
GO  
  
EXEC dbo.sp_grant_proxy_to_subsystem  
    @proxy_name = 'Catalog application proxy',  
    @subsystem_id = 2;  
GO  

B. Granting access to a subsystem by name.

The following example grants the proxy Catalog application proxy access to the SSIS package execution subsystem.

USE msdb ;  
GO  
  
EXEC dbo.sp_grant_proxy_to_subsystem  
    @proxy_name = N'Catalog application proxy',
