Dt_ Procs And The Public Role
Oct 3, 2006In a SQL 2k instance (latest SP) some of my user databases show the public role with execute on a variety of stored procs named dt_* (i.e. dt_addtosourcecontrol). However, not all the user databases do this, some do not grant the public role execute on these procs .
So, can someone explain what generates these permissions and is it acceptable to remove them? If I have a database that does not grant public access, should I be concerned? I don't see any reference to these procs in BOL.
TIA,
Moblex
Copy Public Role
Aug 24, 2007Is it possible to script the Public role? Delete authorities granted to Public?
I need to copy all the permissions of the Public role from one database to many others. The databases were setup incorrectly with many authorities granted to Public.
Public Server Role
Mar 30, 2006In exploring permissions that users have, I find that they all have VIEW ANY DATABASE permission which they inherit from the public server role. You can see this by selecting the Permissions page on the Server Properties dialog and highlighting "public". The permission shows as having been granted by sa. This is listed as a server role. However, it does not show in the list of server roles and I can't find any documentation for it (RTM BOL). Interestingly, if I revoke this permission (which is the only permission this role has), the public server role disappears from view. But I can subsequently regrant the permission with Transact-SQL in master and the role comes back.
I would like more information about this role. It seems to be sort of "secret".
When I revoke the permission, users can't see any databases except master and tempdb (both of which have active guest users) even though they have been granted access to other databases.
What I was trying to accomplish by changing this permission was to allow a user to see only those databases which they are allowed to use. But that does not seem to be possible.
Thanks for the help.

Removing Login's From Public Role
May 24, 2000Hello all,
I'm having trouble copying my production database to a development version because I have a login user in the public role that is not a valid user. I can't find any reference to the login/user anywhere in my database or in NT security, on my server for that matter.
When I open the public role through Enterprise Manager, I can see the logins/users in the list, but the 'Remove' button is disabled. I also tried to use the stored procedure 'sp_droprolemember', but it says that 'public' is not a role in the database.
DTS keeps blowing up on this object when exporting, and I need to get this stuff copied ASAP.
Thanks for all help

Public Role And Explicit Rights
Sep 19, 2005I gave a developer rights to the Public role on a SQL Server 2000 database. The Public role only has explicitly set select rights to the system tables and one user table. There are no other explicit rights set. The developer was able to open a table that had no rights set in enterprise manager and change data. Is this possible?

Reseting Select Permissions For Public Role
Sep 13, 2004Every night, there are some stored procedures that run to recreate tables so that the information in the table is updated. After the tables are droped and recreated I have to go in and check the select box under the permissions for the public role. If i don't do this users will not be able to select from theres tables.
What can I do so that users are able to select from these tables after they are created?
Would you be able to specify the select permissions for the public role in the script that creates the table or run a script that gives all those tables select permissions for the public role?
All help is appreciated.

Determine User Assigned Rights To Public Role
Oct 10, 2007Hi:
When I restore DB from testing to production, we want to remove extra access rights granted to public group. Is there a simple way to query to find out for which objects (table, view, sp, fn) that public group were granted select, delete, update insert, or execute rights?
My objective is to write a sp to remove all user assigned rights to public group (role), but not to deny any rights. How to do it?
Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Can't Make Database Role A Member Of Another Database Role In 2005.
Jan 9, 2006In 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?

Public Report
May 7, 2008
Is there a way to make a report public, to outside your domain users? We have a web application the users are authenticated in that is not in .NET and not using NT authentication and we want to have a report linked from inside the application that will pass the parameters in the URL. This is not very sensitive data and the report is using SQL authentication. We also don't want then to log in a second time for the report.
Can this be done easily?
Thanks

Public Database Permissions

I can read the vendor db (with the proper dns), but I can only read my db when the user has admin privileges. I have granted the public all permissions for the table on my db. What am I missing?
Also, this is a db on a Small business Server 2003 so all of the SQL tools do not appear to be there.

View 1 Replies View RelatedDisable Triggers (using Alter With Public)
Nov 30, 2004Hey folks,
Here's the skinny
I'm trying to run a stored procedure that requires triggers to be disabled in a table.
When I run the stored procedure (from the app or from the query analyzer) it works fine cause I'm setup as the owner/admin.
However, when users call the stored procedure from the application it gets executed as public which does not have alter persmissions.
I do not want to give alter permissions to public (for obvious reasons).
I was thinking of using SETUSER and SETOWNER but I don't know if it will work (I think because I cannot upgrade permissions using these just change to user of equal or lesser permissions).
Someone had mentioned to me to create a sysadmin user and just SETUSER to that then set it back to public, but again not sure if this will work because public has less permissions than the sysadmin.
I would like to have more info before I try this out and give it back to the client for testing.
Not sure if any of this will work for me, please help.
Thank you for your time.
By the way, I'm using SQL2000
