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,

Hi All,
Question:
Why would the user other than sa need the db_owner rights?
I am getting this error message when disabling a job. The user is not a SA.
TITLE: Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo
------------------------------
Alter failed for Job 'XYZ'.
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
------------------------------
EXECUTE permission denied on object 'sp_help_operator', database 'msdb', owner 'dbo'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 229)
The user can diasble the job if i give db_owner permission on msdb.
Is there a way i can do this without making the user db_owner?
Thanks for any help

ODBC error:[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]SETUSER permission denied, database 'XXX',owner 'dbo'."

View 7 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have given a user db_owner role in a database. When he creates a table using Enterprise manager the table owner is dbo. When he creates a table using Query Analyzer the table owner is the user. eg
Enterprise Manager = dbo.Table1
Query Analyer = username.Table1
This causes a problem when the user is writing web applications. Is this an error in the way i have set up permissions ? How can i make them behave the same way?
Thanks for your help.
Hi guys,
I'm trying to write a script that will check is a MemberName belongs to the Db_Owner role and if it doesn't I then want to add that membername to the role. Does anyone know how to do this?
I have managed to list the Db_Owner MemberNames by using the sp_helprolemember stored procedure, and I can use the following:
SP_addrolemember 'db_owner' , 'ASPNET'
to add the membername to the db_owner role, it's just conditional only do it if it doesn't exist that is causing me grief.
Many thanks,
Damien
Hi everyone,
I try to add a db_role or a user to all my databases with one script. Although parsing doesn't report any problem I get a Syntax error during execution.
I first select the database names into a #temp table which has two columns, ID and dbname.
After that I use the following code:
DECLARE @Count smallint
declare @dbVarchar(20)
SET @Count = 1
WHILE (@Count <=(SELECT MAX(ID) FROM #temp))
BEGIN
Exec ("USE @db")
EXEC sp_adduser 'test'
EXEC sp_addrolemember 'my_role', 'testrole'
SET @COUNT = @COUNT + 1
SET @db = (SELECT dbname FROM #temp WHERE ID = @Count)
END
It seems that the "Use @db" part has no value for the variable @db.
Does anybody knows how to solve this?
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??
View 1 Replies View RelatedNOTE: 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.

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,

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
I know that I can use:
IS_MEMBER('MyRoleName') = 1
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.
Thanks,
Kayda

Using Studio, I created a user defined database role but I can not delete it because
"TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
------------------------------
Drop failed for DatabaseRole 'test1'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
------------------------------
The database principal owns a schema in the database, and cannot be dropped. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15138)
I am quite annoyed because the "owned schema" is db_owner, which can not be unselected. Quite an innovation. How do I drop this relationship?
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?
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!!!
Hi all,
I'm a beginner to Report Services, and have tons of questions.
Here's the first one:
if the reports are created based on the condition that the user selects, how can I create the reports with Report Services?
For example,
the user can select the fields that will be shown on the reports, as well as the group fields, the sort fields and restrict fields. So I would not be able to pre-create all possible reports and deploy them to the report server, and I think I should create the reports dynamicly based on what the user select.
Could someone tell me how to do it (create and deploy the reports)?
Thanks a million!

I have a report that includes two multi-valued parameters.
In the Default Values section, I choose 'from query' and select dataset and value field.
In the Available Values section, I choose 'from query' select the same dataset and value field, and in the label field I select the relevant label field.
When I run the report my multi-valued parameters look like I selected the option 'select all' (all options are selected).
How can I keep the multi-valued parameters cleared from selections until the user select his choice? Thanks in advance.
OK. I screwed-up. SS2005. I gave a user ownership of schema "db_owner" and now I can not change it back to what it was (unknown) so I can delete the user. So how do I change ownership of "db_owner" back to what it was so I can delete the user???
Thanks,
Michael
Hi all,
I'm kinda stuck with the following issue and would apreciate some help with it.
Basically i need to have a user within SQL that has rights to restore databases and is the owner of that database so it can alter the data. The problem i face is that at this moment i see no other way then making that user either member of the server role "sysadmin" or "serveradmin".
Anyway, these roles have to much rights. I tried using the dbcreator role which will make a the needed user db_owner but only when a new database is created, not when a database is restored.
Tried to resolve this with a DDL trigger and then temporarily run as a user with serveradmin rights, however there is no system event for restore database, so that doesn't work either.
Anybody got any suggestions?
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?

I need to determine the following about the current authenticated Windows domain user who is trying to access a SQL Server via a trusted connection.
1 Has the current user been granted login access to the trusted SQL Server?
2 Has the current user been granted access to a specific database?

We have a small accounting application which is currently based using DBASE database. We need to change the DB and considering SQL Express. However, is some one can clarify following, it would be very helpful:
1) Application is used mostly by standalone non-technical users. There are cases where more than one user will need to connect to DB.
2) We need to ensure that user can not modify database outside of our application. This is needed to ensure database does not get currpted or passwords lost and then no one can open the database.
3) Installation needs to be simple without providing any options to users except where to install database or point to already installed DB in case its a network environment where 2-3 users can be working on the same database.
4) Application is usually installed on normal desktop machines. So, DB should not load the PC heavily.
Please advice if SQL Express is the right direction even with these constraints? What are the other alternatives? We are open to have a small consulting project as well with someone who can guide us through these issues. Email to contact is rkabra101@yahoo.com

I have a number of user databases who have lost their owner. That is, displaying properties for the database says the owner is unknown.
I assume that any user for such a database that's assigned to the db_owner role can admin everything in this database? Which means that the lack of a dbo doesn't cause any other problem than making it impossible to run a sp_helpdb for the database, or...?
Of course I'd like to make someone the owner, but it seems difficult to make an already existing database user the owner, without dropping the user and re-creating it.
I am receiving this message in my MOM Server:
The system stored procedure sp_helpdb, which is used to gather information about the databases, has returned an error that may indicate that it cannot determine the db owner for the database [model]. Here are the details: sp_helpdb @dbname='model' on SQL Server Instance: INSTANCENAME. Error number: 515, Error Information: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot insert the value NULL into column '', table ''; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
So, I run this script in the Master DB:
select name, suser_sname(sid) from master.dbo.sysdatabases where suser_sname(sid) is NULL
And I get the result that the db_owner is set to NULL!
I know that it is not possible to change the DB Owner of the model database but is there any workaround to solve this without reinstalling or similar solutions?
I am getting the following error when trying to create a view in a database.
If I have db_owner rights so I should not have an issue? Any thoughts
