Hi all,
Is there any easy way to not allow a user to see system views? I have set up 1 view for a login, and I have to use an ODBC connection to access it. However, the 3rd party application I'm using is apparently timing out because of the number of tables/views that are returned.
TIA!

I have a customers table and a stored procedure for deleting records from this table. I connect to sql using a connection string with sql server authentication using a user I've set up in sql server. This user has roles public, db_datareader and db_datawriter and has permissions to execute all my custom stored procedures. Up to this point everything is fine and I can insert, update and delete. Happy days.
If I then select the permissions for the user and deny delete permission on the customers table I thought that because deny overrides everything else I could not delete a customer from my application. Much to my surprise, I can. Why is this?

I€™m trying to lock down PCI sensitive data columns in some product databases
from our developers. We need developers to have data reader rights to the
production database to perform general maintenance and troubleshooting of the
application BUT minus the specific secured columns like credit card number,
etc.
I have a user role setup called RWE created by:
CREATE ROLE RWE
GRANT SELECT TO RWE
GRANT INSERT TO RWE
GRANT UPDATE TO RWE
GRANT DELETE TO RWE
GRANT EXECUTE TO RWE
A standard SQL user is placed inside this role allowing them full read,
write, and execute rights on everything in the DB which is fine.
BUT, now we want those same rights except for the sensitive data files so I
updated the rule with the following script:
DENY SELECT ON [dbo].[TableNameHere] ([strCC]) TO [RWE]
Logging in a developer and doing a SELECT * FROM TableNameHere throws a
permission error on the strCC column as expected, so far so good.
But, I did a SELECT * FROM ViewThatContainsField_strCC and shows them the
denied field. Oh, oh! I also did EXEC spStoredProcThatShows_strCC and again it
shows the denied credit card field. Again, oh, oh!
So, long story short, I€™m stuck. My understanding of SQL permissions, I was
under the understanding that placing a deny at the lowest level (column)
should throw errors in all methods of access that column (either by direct
select, or select through views, procs, etc).
Any suggestions or any hints on what I€™m missing here?
Thx ahead of time!
Is there a way to deny Security Permissions to a login that has sysadmin? Unfortunately I have to leave the user as sysadmin. I trying denying alter any login and control server but that didn't work.
View 3 Replies View Related1. A few months ago, I received a request to deny delete to a group (Windows AD login) against 3 databases. So I issued a DENY DELETE to the relevant Windows login.
2. Now, someone is having trouble updating data. The issue seems to be that a trigger fires during the update. In the trigger the code tries to delete from a table in the previously delete-denied databases. So the update fails.
-- In retrospect, perhaps I should have used REVOKE - not sure
-- Also, I can't seem to find a listing of the DENY permissions - or rather, how to list what permissions are denied. I guess maybe that is a hard thing to do if the result of a DENY is to leave certain permission columns NULL (vs adding 'DENY'). But it would be useful for me to see what the current permission state is.
-- Finally, I tried to undo the DENY without success. Here is my attempt.
a. I tried GRANT DELETE... - no luck
b. Then I saw an article explaining to use REVOKE, so I tried 'REVOKE DELETE' followed by 'GRANT DELETE' - still no luck.
We have a generic sql login "prduser". Applications use this login. We want the login NOT to have ALTER PROCEDURE and DROP PROCEDURE permissions only on the stored procedures(there are thousands of them).
View 17 Replies View RelatedI know this seems like a strange ask, but we have a common user and pass in most of our web applications and this user requires DBO access to the database, no problem is occasioannly we need to let a developer look at an issue on a production server, so we port them through to sql through the firewall so they can see it it, and they normally login wih there domain/username and this way they are restricted to what they can see and do. However all developers know the SQL user and pass used in the web app, they also know its a DBO, so this means they can login with these user details and have access to everything.
My question is how can i lock this down so i can deny access from the SQL management console for this particular user, but still allow the user to act as a DBO for the web applications.
your help here is appreciated.
Thanks

I am using a Microsoft Access ADP to get to data on SQL Server 2000. I would like to protect the base tables from being edited directly, but allow the views and SPs to handle all the work of getting data in and out. From what I have read in numerous articles and boods, I should be able to grant permissions just on the Views and NOT on the tables. However, the ONLY way I can make my views 'updatable' is by graniting UPDATE permissions on the TABLE! Worse yet, if I DENY permissions to UPDATE, INSERT, and DELETE in the view, but allow them in the table, the view allows the updates anyway, apparently not looking at the fact that it should be DENIED.
:confused:
I have a database with two views in it.
As it is right now i have two sql logins one for readers and one for modifiers. I need to open the database up to windows auth.
I want users to only be able to see views and not the tables. I also want users to be able to modify the table if they are in one view but not in the other views. How would i do this? I have limited experience with permissions like this.
We are attempting to implement security on top of a shrink-wrapped softwarepackage and are trying to get row-level security. Here's the scenario:1. Table dbo.BOOK contains all the information about books in everydepartment.2. There are a large number of developed reports that run queries like"select * from BOOK..."3. We wish to have each Department only be able to see their books - withoutchanging the existing reports.Our thought was to create a series of views:create view Dept1.BOOK asselect * from BOOK where Dept=1....and then create Roles for each Dept. We'd then remove rights to dbo.BOOKand grant rights to DeptN.BOOK as appropriate for each role. We startedtesting this and seemed to get it working, but are now having problems. Isthis possible? Is there another, better solution?Thanks!
View 5 Replies View RelatedIn database permissions I have granted a user rights to create a view. When she tries to save the view (even save as) it automatically wants to save it to the dbo schema and says she does not have rights to save to the dbo schema.
Two questions:
1) Can I set it up to where she can save a view to a schema which she is the owner?
2) If not, then what permissions must be set to allow her to create / save views but not be able to create, etc. other objects such as tables and stored procedures?

What specific permissions do you need to be able to view information_schema views? I thought public role had permissions to select on these views, but this is not the case? What do I do?
my developers have db_reader, db_writer, and db_ddladmin. They do not have db_owner. If I make them Sysadmin in sql they can view them, but that doens't fit in our security setup we have. THoughts?
Thanks,
Hi
What permissions do I need to set so that a user can change tables, views and procedures?
As a CRM person, I sometimes have to update the database to cope with custom reports that I have written. Usually, I will
Go into SQL Server Management Studio 2008Open the database
Locate either the table or the view
Right click on permissions.
Add in the role or user that's needed
Grant them Select permissions
This allows the report in CRM to access the database and this works.
The problem I have is that after a certain amount of time, the user or role will disappear from the permissions meaning that the report will not run. Sometimes, this can be as soon as a couple of days or it can be months. It happens on views more than tables and, whilst it's not too difficult to put the permissions back, it is annoying for the users.
I don't use SQL Server Management Studio very regularly, only to write a few queries and set up these permissions so I'm not sure if there's anything else in there that might be doing this.
I'm trying to deploy a project that I deployed yesterday just fine, but today I get the following error:
------ Deploy started: Project: Point Reports, Configuration: Debug ------
Deploying to http://reporting.companyname.com/reportserver
Deploying data source '/Data Sources/Srv24.FieldResponse2_1'.
The permissions granted to user 'DOMAINharley.p.bartman' are insufficient for performing this operation.
Deploy complete -- 1 errors, 0 warnings
This seems like a basic permission issue, except I'm not logged in as the user listed! I've never logged into my computer as the user. I did log in to the reporting services website yesterday as that user, but since have rebooted my machine and logged into bothe my computer and the reporting services website as me. Yesterday this report deployed fine. Today, this error message. I've even tried creating a new project and just creating a simple datasource and deploying just that, but still this message! Where is Visual Studio storing and reusing this user name during my deploy process???
I was looking in sys.syslogins and sys.sql_logins for a property to tell me if the login is locked but all i see are properties for if the account is enabled or if the account has access.
Is there a system view I can query to tell if if the account is locked ?
Thanks,
Hello,
can someone tell me where I can look to find a sql command that
is being executed by an application against my database?
In Oracle, I look in the v$sql_text view - is there something
similar in SQL Server 2000 ?
Many thanks in advance
I'm trying to access a System Catalog View (sys.database_permissions, and others) from a table valued function. I need to be able to pass the database name into the function so that I can operate on any database. Typically I'd use dynamic SQL to do something like
INSERT INTO #tempTable
EXEC ('SELECT * FROM ' + @DBName + '.sys.database_permissions')
But of course I can't use dynamic SQL inside of a UDF. I know I could do this using a stored procedure, but I'd need the output to be a recordset that I can query.
Has anyone done anything like this? I think I'm stuck.
Hi all,
I know there are similar threads out there, but I haven't found one that can help me (and I didn't want to just hijack someone's), so I am asking here. I have a report that is accessing System.DirectoryServices in the code window. It works great in development (from the visual studio designer) but fails on deployment:
Request for the permission of type 'System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryServicesPermission, System.DirectoryServices, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' failed.
What do I need to change to make this work?
Thanks,

I've had a couple problems with SMO and I wonder if anyone else has. Specifically, when I run through stored procedures (just like your example) it is painfully slow. Maybe 5 a second. Another problem is filtering on nonsystem objects with either "SVR.SetDefaultInitFields(typeof(Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.View), "IsSystemObject"); or View.isSystemObject.
Both cases crash my app. Any ideas?
Below are two ways that both crash or hang.
SVR.SetDefaultInitFields(typeof(Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.View), "IsSystemObject");
foreach (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.View view in viewCollection)
{}
OR
foreach (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.View view in viewCollection)
{
if (!view.IsSystemObject)
{}
}
Is there anyway to access system views on/from a linked server?
I have unsuccessfully tried various permutations of
select *
from [MDEDATAWTDss2005].master.[information_schema.colums]
Thanks
I got a script, which ran on SQL Server 7. After compiling on SQL Server 2012, I came across that the previous script used a system ViewsTables columns named "suid", which no longer operate in SQL Server 2012. After modifying the script with 2012 and replaced suid by SID, it works but the suid column is not appearing in System Views. What if we want to get that column back in SQL Server 2012? is there any possible way?

We have been working on an application that will be using a forms-authenticated report server (RS2005) as a reporting back-end. Using the reporting services web service I have been able to assign permissions to objects in reporting services no problem. The issue is that each user needs to be added to the System User role to be able to use the report builder properly. I can't seem to find a way to do this programmatically. Any idea?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAs im diving into my new DBA role and reading as much as I can, I am a little confused on DMV's and system tables.
I've been reading through the book "SQL Server 2005 Bible", which has been very helpful. I tend to use it in conjunction with BOL whenever I come across something I want to learn more.
Last Friday, I tinkered around with DMV's, which was really cool, but I ran into something today that confused me.
Basically, it was finding out the recovery model for all the DB's on the server. The code in the book was:
SELECT [name], recovery_model_desc
FROM sys.databases;
Which turned exactly what it says it will.
however, I am confused.
I initially thought I needed to specify something in the "[name]" section, but realized, that is not the case.
My question is, why is that?
How do I know when to use [] around something?
I found this article:
http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/3587906
I have been reading it.
I guess I am just really young and raw to T-SQL to know when to use the language corectly.
Is it due to the fact that the rules or syntax is a little different when using system tables?
Hope that makes sense.
Thanks.

All of a sudden none of our merge replications are working. In fact you can't even insert, update or delete and data from the tables in the merge publication. When trying that, we get an error stating:
Msg 550, Level 16, State 1, Procedure MSmerge_ins_E3F43EF8B259476099BBB194A2E1708C, Line 42
The attempted insert or update failed because the target view either specifies WITH CHECK OPTION or spans a view that specifies WITH CHECK OPTION and one or more rows resulting from the operation did not qualify under the CHECK OPTION constraint.
The statement has been terminated.
Currently, the only solution I've found is to delete the publication and recreate it. I'm trying to figure out why this happened. It happened on a development server that to my knowledge, hasn't been changed in a week or so outside of changing the server's IP address. Would that cause such an error to occur?

I'm recreating many of my DBA scripts that no longer work in 2005 due to the rework of system tables. It's a risk I lived with knowing that someday the system tables would change. I'm now encountering collation problems, which I do not understand. I know how to fix the problem, but I don't know why the collation issues exist in the first place.
Run the following command.
Select * From sys.all_objects a JOIN master..spt_values b on a.type = b.type
You will receive the following error.
Msg 468, Level 16, State 9, Line 1
Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" and "Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS" in the equal to operation.
Now run sp_help 'sys.all_objects' and look at the collation defintion for columns "type" and "type_desc". In my environment they have a collation of Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS. This is different then the overall default collation of SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, thus causing the error.
My question is why did Microsoft need to make this collation different for these columns?
Any ideas?
Thanks, Dave
We are in the process of supporting two databases (Oracle 10g, SQL Server 2005) for our application.
I want to know what is the equivalent Tables/Views in SQL Server for the Oracle System tables dba_tab_comments, dba_tab_cols
Thanks in advance
Is this possible?
here is the situation. I have a DB on one system. I back it up and then restore it to a second system. This second system I run reports off of and I want to create custom views that do not exist on the original system. Can I restore the
backup DB from the remote system without wiping out the custom views on the local system?
I have to do this this way as they won't let us create the views we want on the remote system so the only way we have access to run the reports is by restoring the backup locally.
TIA!
We have an audit issue that is requiring me to revoke the select permissions from the public role to the system tables. Has anyone had to do this?? What problems did you experience? Are their any tables that you were not able to change the permissions on? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I would like to enable users that do not belong to groups (server roles) such as sysadmin, serveradmin and don't have db permissions such as ddl_admin or db_owner to run some of the system stored procedures (such as sp_addumpdevice sp_configure sp_serveroption ...) and DBCC commands (such as DBCC CHECKFILEGROUP - requires ob_owner or sysadmin permission).
Is it possible to change permissions of SQL Server system stored procedures?
Is it possible to change permissions of SQL Server DBCC commands?

I'm working on a few views for a small web app, and seem to have some issues with the referencing model.
ServerA is the actual database containting data
WareHouseA is a database full of views based on ServerA
WebWareHouse is the database containg views I'm working on
in the web app I have a user WebUser that has select permissions on WebWareHouse and WareHouseA, but NOT on ServerA.
Yet, when I do a query on a view in WebWarHouse, that references views in WarehouseA, that again access data in ServerA, I get a response that user "WebUser" isn't a user on the database on ServerA.
So how do I program my view on WebWarehouse to use a useracount on ServerA, when WebUser may not be created as a user on ServerA?'
In Views i usually write select <blah blah blah> from WarehouseA.dbo.viewname. WebUser has the rights to access and select on WarehouseA. But not on ServerA...
