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?
Using SQL Server 2k5 sp1, Is there a way to deny users access to a specific column in a table and deny that same column to all stored procedures and views that use that column? I have a password field in a database in which I do not want anyone to have select permissions on (except one user). I denied access in the table itself, however the views still allow for the user to select that password. I know I can go through and set this on a view by view basis, but I am looking for something a little more global.
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:
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!
In 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?
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! - Mark
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 followed T-SQL instructions from Steve Gott (Thanks!) to alter the dbo schema and granted create a view permissions for one of my users. She can now create a view, however, she can not save the view she creates such as dbo.view1. Additionally, when she right-clicks on and existing view, it shows the ability to create views, however, greyed out are the options to edit or design the view.
What other steps should I take to ensure she can create, edit, design and save new and existing views?
I created a view V1 that uses an outer join with a table and calls a sub-view VS1 (ds_proj_report_date) which uses an inner join) and does an inner join with VS1. I also created another view V2 that uses inner join but does not call the sub-view VS1.
When I run the two views as below it works fine
Select * from V1 Union Select * from V2
I then created another view V3 of the above union as
Create view V3 As Select * from V1 Union Select * from V2
Now when I run select * from V3, I get the following error. Joined tables cannot be specified in a query containing outer join operators. View or function 'ds_proj_report_date' contains joined tables
I've seriously looked, but this simple concept eludes me. How do I go about viewing all the permissions granted to a database user? Like whether or not they can execute a stored procedure.
I have granted a developer the alter view permissions on some views in our production server which now allow him to open the view for modification. When he tries to save his changes he gets an error that he doesn't have create view permission. If seen this behavior before when you modify a table, does SQL Server 7.0 actually drop and recreate the object? If so, would he then need create permissions on views also?
Is there a way to set it so that a user can view permissions in EM but not change them? I have tried using the SecurityAdmin role on the database, but this lets the user change the permissions. I really need to be able to do this, is there any way or can anyone make any other suggestions about this i.e., can you place the user in this role yet revoke the ability to commit a change?
I have a list of users that I want to restrict access to tables in a database. The goal is to allow the users to use select statements on the views instead of the tables. How can this be accomplished?
i've been asked to re-write a sql view. the view itself contains several calls to other views (embedded). is there a way to get around using embedded views. I've written the same query up using temp. tables but obviously temp. tables can't be used in views?
Is there any special things I should be looking for?
guys, ive never worked with Views before so forgive me. i know how to create one, and that it creates a virtual table in memory, but i've got one small question.
if i create a view:
CREATE view dbo.myView as select Distinct FirstName,LastName from SomeTable
When ever i reference that view, such as Select FirstName,LastName from myView where LastName like 'Jo%'
does that View Refresh itself??
in other words does it run each time i Reference it??? or is it static from when i created it.
Wouldnt it be easier just to use a #TempTable or some other Table thats used to hold a few values?
I am creating a view for the table: bellus=# select * from host_application_definition; id | type_value | connection_value | group_value | application_value | host ----+------------+------------------+-------------+-------------------+----
From the table meta_host_types;
id | value | types | name ----+-------+-----------+-------- 1 | agm | host-type | Rencid
I would like to seperate value into type_value and connection_value, because it holds both values.

I'd like to get results from ZTest_Contract being my result set, and would like to combine the subquery (which gets the Max) into the primary view ZTest_Contract.
CREATE VIEW [dbo].[ZTest_Contract] AS Select M.CUSTNMBR, M.ADRSCode, M.Contract_number, M.MaxWSCONTSQ, M.Equipment_id,
I have 2 views which contain the following fields: EVENT, WEEK, SUBSCRIPTION, QTY, GROSS_AMOUNT, SEASON
The 2 views differ by SEASON. I'm attempting to combine the 2 views in to a single view or table grouping by EVENT, WEEK and SUBSCRIPTION:
EVENT, WEEK, SUBSCRIPTION, Q6 (qty of season 1), A6 (gross_amount of season 1), Q7 (qty of season 2), A7 (gross_amount of season 2)
Below is my select command:
------
SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT dbo.vw_SEASON06.EVENT, SUM(dbo.vw_SEASON06.QTY) AS Q6, SUM(dbo.vw_SEASON06.GROSS_AMOUNT) AS A6, SUM(dbo.vw_SEASON07.QTY) AS Q7, SUM(dbo.vw_SEASON07.GROSS_AMOUNT) AS A7, dbo.vw_SEASON06.WEEK, dbo.vw_SEASON06.SUBSCRIPTION
FROM dbo.vw_SEASON06 FULL OUTER JOIN dbo.vw_SEASON07 ON dbo.vw_SEASON06.WEEK = dbo.vw_SEASON07.WEEK AND dbo.vw_SEASON06.SUBSCRIPTION= dbo.vw_SEASON07.SUBSCRIPTION AND dbo.vw_SEASON06.EVENT = dbo.vw_SEASON07.EVENT
GROUP BY dbo.vw_SEASON06.EVENT, dbo.vw_SEASON06.WEEK, dbo.vw_SEASON06.SUBSCRIPTION
ORDER BY dbo.vw_SEASON06.EVENT
-----
This creates the view but there are some issues. If an 'EVENT' exists in dbo.vw_SEASON07.EVENT and doesn't exist in dbo.vw_SEASON06.EVENT the value of the field 'EVENT' is set to NULL because the 'EVENT' name is returned from dbo.vw_SEASON06.EVENT. The same issue exists for 'SUBSCRIPTIONS' and 'WEEK'.
How can I create a single view/table that will include all the data from these 2 views without the NULL values in EVENT or SUBSCRIPTION?
I have created a view where the data is a subset of the table. When a non dbo user selects only the first column from that view, the query returns the value. However, when the non dbo user selects any of the other columns or a combination of columns I get an invalid column name error. The syntax of my query is correct because it works when I use QA using a login with dbo permissions. Ideas?
I am having trouble with permissions on views and tables. I have a set of tables owned by dbo, and then a set of view owed by another user, say User1. So I have a table dbo.Airports, and then a view User1.Airports. User1 has all permissions on dbo.Airports, and via ISQL I can select and update with no problem. MY VB application is working with User1.Airport, and it will select from User1.Airport fine, but I keep getting an error when I try to Update User1.Airport. I have many other tables set up the same way, and they all work fine - my VB app updates no problem. Any ideas?
I have dropped and recreated the table and all views, assigned all permissions, everything looks good, but...
Another strangev thing is if I use Enterprise Manager, and display permissions by user, and display all tables and views, the permissions are checked off for the view, but not the table, (which is incorrect) but if I don't display permissions for view, the permissions are checked off forv the table, which is correct. So that seems not to be working correctly.
How do you view permissions granted to an id, such as ALTER TRACE permission, using Management Studio? I want to see if ALTER TRACE permission has been granted to an id, but am unable to find this information in the GUI.
We are running SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition. I don't want tomake the developers the sysadmin or even the dbo in the userdatabases. Is there a way to give them access to only view thepermissions for the stored procedures in the user database withoutmaking them dbo?When I take them out of the db_owner role, when they open a storedprocedure they no longer see the permissions tab. I would like forthem to see the permissions tab and be able to view the permissionsbut not change the permissions.Is that doable?
WHERE [AppraisalView_C].[AppraisalID_C] = 'APP-000006'
but I end up getting the dreaded "Msg 4104, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 The multi-part identifier "AppraisalView_C.AppraisalID_C" could not be bound." error....
I cant change the Query that is called, but i can change the view, what is wrong?
I need to create a new login with SELECT rights so the users can view all tables with no UPDATE, DELETE, OR INSERT rights. But this user needs to be able to CREATE VIEWS. I have assigned the user to the Public role and gone in and modified Securables for the Database to be able to CREATE VIEW. When I connect using my new user and try to create a view, I get the error message: CREATE VIEW permissions denied in database 'test01'.
I am having a problem with permissions using Windows groups. I have a database (database1) that has permissions granted via Windows groups. Two groups (group1 and group2) are members of the db_datareader role in database1, and this work fine. Do to the number of tables that get created during our work, using db_datareader is the easiest way to keep up with permissions without creating a maintenance problem. Now I have a table that I want to add to this database, but I only want group2 to have select permission on this one table which is a problem because group1 has the db_datareader role. So I thought I could create a view in this database to the restricted table that I put in database2. Then in database2 I only added group2 as a user with the permission to select from this table. Unfortunately the group membership does not seem to get interpretted correctly in database2 and no one can successfult select from the view in database1.
In other words, user1 who belongs to group1 connects to database1 and cannot select from the restricted view -- this is what I would expect. However, when user2 who belongs to group2 connects to database1 they also cannot select from the restricted view -- not the behvior I would expect. Now, if I make user2 a user in database2 with select on the restricted table then user2 can connect to database1 and successfuly get data from the restricted view. So it looks like the fact that user2 belongs to group2 is never passed to database2 via the select from the view on database1. Is this indeed the way that Windows group security is working or is meant to work in SQL Server?
I realize I could solve this simplified version of the problem by creating my own role in database1 for group1 etc., but I am trying to solve a bigger problem in our environment that has hundreds of databases across numerous servers.
My Production servers are SQL Server 2005 x64. I would like to allow my developers the ability to look at permissions on production stored procedures but not be able to change those permissions or alter the production code. What has to be set to allow this sort of security.
HiI have two databases: Customers and Operations. In Customers database I havemade a view based on a few tables from both Customers and Operations (leftjoin - customers without any operations). In the same database (Customers) Ihave created a stored procedure based on the view. Finally I'd like to giveto some users permission only to exec the stored procedure.Have I to add the users to Customers? If yes, please describe me how tolimit the users privileges only to execution the stored procedure (no rightsto open tables or view from Customers).Regards,GrzegorzPs. I had sent the post on microsoft.public.sqlserver.security, but I had noanswer.
