I have a database with 500+ tables and 1000+ views and equal no of stored procedures. I have a sql server login id which I have included in the following roles:
db_datareader
db_datawriter
now the issues is.. i want to revoke delete permission from certain tables. Any revoke or deny do not affect the behaviour i.e. even after successfully executing revoke/deny statements on these tables for DELETE statement.. user is able to DELETE.
pl advise the best way to revoke delete permission from a few (half dozen) tables out of the total.
In sql server 2000, I created some custom database roles called ProjectLeader and Developer. I would make these roles a member in the fixed database roles so that I would only have to add the user to the ProjectLeader or Developer role once and they would presto-magico have the security I wanted them to have with no unecessary mouse clicking. I'm not sure how to repeat this process in 2005? Management Studio doesn't seem to allow you to add a role as a member in another role. Is there a work around or solution for this?
Ive been reading over the documentation and some stuff online, but I still dont really understand what the difference is and when you would use one vs the other. Can someone put it in simple terms for this dummy (me) ?
I have SQL server 2005 (Developer edition) installed and I want to add a database role to a database role. It is working on my SQL 2000 server,however, when I tried to do the same thing on SQL2005, It didn't allowed me.
When I go to the Add role and then adding members to the role, the browse screen does not allow me the choice of object type Roles. It only shows me "Users".
Can someone please help me with this and provide me some information of how / what should I set to get the Roles in object types list so I can add a role to a role.
I want a database user to be able to alter login, database user and database role from my application. so, i assigned that user to sccurityadmin server role, db_accessadmin and db_securityadmin database roles....By now, the user can add or remove login and database user. However, the user cannot add or remove any database role membership. What am I missing here?? What should I do so that the user can create, and alter database roles in the database??
I have created the functionality to dynamically create databases and am now trying to figure out how to create database roles using T-SQL.
I keep finding information about the sp_addrole stored procedure which is the first step, but how do you go about defining what permissions this role has via T-SQL?
I've moved a database from 2000 to 2005 and in 2005 I cannot see the permissions for this Database Role that I created. In 2000 you just right-clicked, selected properies and clicked on permissions. Am I going mad here or is this not an option in 2005. If not, how do I see the permissions that have been given to the role?
The 2005 database I refer to is on standard edition SP2
NOTE: I am talking about roles in my sql server - NOT in asp.net. I need to create a stored procedure that retrieves the roles that the currently logged in sql user has for a different database. I have the code that gets the roles for the user, but it only works if the user is in the database. I want to be in one database, and get the roles for a different database. I have tried using USE DATABASE, but this is not allowed in a store procedure.
I have a login 'testuser' on test server. This login was 'db_datareader' for database called 'invent_test' on test server. I deleted the whole database and restored the production backup as 'invent_test' database. Now I am trying to modify login 'testuser' by adding it as 'db_datareader' for 'invent_test' again but it gives me an error that 'this user or role already exists for current database'.
I can not see 'db_datareader' or even 'invent_test' options selected in login properties for 'testuser'. Also I can not find 'testuser' in database roles -->db_datareader member list. Is this a bug with sql server 7.0? Or how should I give this user priviledges to read?
I dropped the login and recreated it. Server is also rebooted meanwhile so there is no possibility for cashe problem. Still same error is there. Is there any thing that I am missing here?
I really appreciate your help. I am very frustrated now.
I know how to create an Application role in SQL server 7. Now how do I connect to the database from VB using that Application Role? I can't find anything about this topic anywhere. Is this the purpose of an Application role or am I way off?
In the Books on Line of MSSQL2000 In "Adding a Member to a SQL Server Database Role"
There is this "Note : When you add a Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 login without a user account in the database to a SQL Server database role, SQL Server creates a user account in the database automatically, even if that Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 login cannot otherwise access the database."
I mean how can anyone add a login to a database role without making the login a user of the database.:shocked: Also if it worked, a new fancy feature to add new logins??:eek: Plz help:S
i would like to create a new database role that has exactly the same permissions as an existing database role. the combinations of permissions are complicated enough to make this a time consuming task worthy of a script of some sort. any suggestions?
i'm running SQL Server 2000 and can't find anything about copying roles unless it's through DTS from one DB to another. not sure if this is applicable to basically duplicating and renaming a role in one database.
in case you're wondering why anyone would want to do this you may not be surprised to know that it's a government thing. some policy about differentiating between 2 roles -- even though they currently have exactly the same permissions, the similarities might change in the future.
Brief description of the problem:My production server has about 50 databases and various permissions aregranted to public role on all these databases. Because of this any newuser added to any database gets unnecessary access to objects by virtueof being a member of public by default. I would like to fix this flawin the way the server is setup as below:1. Setup a new database role called NewRole on all 50 databases andcopy permissions to NewRole from public.2. Add all existing users to the new Role.3. Remove all permissions from public.Any suggestions on scripting this task are welcome.
I want to allow administrators of the program to change the permissions of the database roles. Is there a way to retreive the the specific permissions granted an denyed to a user and a database role. For instance, a store procedure that you call, pass it the database role and you get whether SELECT is allowed on table1, or if UPDATE is denied on table2, etc.
Is there a way to script out a database role from SQL management studio? I can only get a script for create and drop. I am looking for a script that shows all object permissions that the role has in a database.
Does anyone know if there is a way to use a SSIS task to add a role to SSAS cube? At the moment I use Management Studio, Right Click "Roles" under the cube and go through New Role wizard, but I'd like to be able to include this in a SSIS package instead.
Hi, I hv an application which is using ASP.net. The connectionstring in web.config is <appSettings> <add key = "constring" value = "Initial Catalog=mydatabase;Data Source=mypc-pc;User ID=User1; Password=password1"/> </appSettings>"
Then, i hv created a user in SQL Server 2000 which is User1. What should i put for the database role? db_owner or just db_datareader and db_datawriter?
Hi! I've restored a backup from server A in server B. In server A I used to have a db_owner, called sitebase. After restoring the backup in server B, I created the user sitebase again and tried to grant him db_owner through Server Manager but I got the error: user or role already exists in the current database. How can I avoid this situation and grant db_owner to him? Thanks, Fábio
How do I get a particular user to be a choice under the db_owner role for a particular database? The user is listed under logins and even shows to be the db_owner for the database under the database access tab of the login properties. This is SQL 2000. Thanks, David P.
in SQL server 2005, Database User's permission will be overriden by the database Role's permission or ottherwise? For example, a userA is owner of table AA so it has all permisions on table AA but the user is a member of GroupB but group B has no permission to access to Table AA. What happen on User A?. has it permission to access to table BB or not? How can I find document or example about this? Please help me, thanks so much
to determine if a user is a member of a predetermined role, but how do I ask what the role name of the querying user is instead? Basically I want to do something like:
SELECT * FROM CityTable WHERE City IN (SELECT City FROM CitySecurity WHERE SelectGroup = ROLE_NAME)
I'm doing this because the "CitySecurity" table contains security information from another system that has been imported into SQL Server, where the 'SelectGroup', as part of process, will be named the same as the SQL Server role.
I want to create database role which can be used for creating stored procedures like db_SPCreate.
User should be able to create SP on Schema PVR; and should not be allowed to create sP in otherthan schema and he can use any schema tables to create procedure.
After upgrading my database from SQL2000 to SQL2005 I have noticed a change in behavior of sp_helprolemember.
In SQL2000 I could connect as 'user1' and use sp_helprolemember to find all users that belong to a certain role.
In SQL2005 sp_helprolemember seems to only show me the roles that connected user belongs to. For example, if I connect as 'user1' I only see the roles that 'user1' belongs to.
Any advice on how to duplicate the behavior from SQL2000?
Is there a way to find a list of Windows User accounts that are directly or indirectly (through Windows Group membership) assigned to a database role?
I could put work in to CLR programming or using a Linked Server to Active Directory, but if there is a sys.* view available that can provide me this information directly it would be much easier.
I'll be looking into this further myself anyway and posting an answer if I can find one, but if anyone has suggestions... well, thanks!
I used a backup copy of our production DB (residing in our prod machine) to do a database RESTORE to our test DB (residing in our test machine). This step was successful. However when I tried to access the test DB via Peoplesoft application, I am unable to logon. Only then did I notice that all the users, with the exception of "sa", were gone. When I attempted to add a user via Enterprise Manager's Action - Add Database User, I get the message, "Error 15023: User or role '%' already exists in the current database. What's the best way to fix this without resorting to copying the source server's master database (If i do this, I risk clobbering some other DB's that are present in the target server but not in source server)? Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated!!!
