Is is possible to hide "salary" or other sensitive data from a person who is a Sys-Admin. My belief is that there is no way. Please correct me.....
Assumptions: SQL Service account has Local Admin privelege.
Sysadmin can do anything on local machine, including run scripts adding themselves to any default/instance of SQL on the machine.
Please direct me to any other source of information for this topic.
I have a table which has a row that contains a subreport. I'd like to set the visibility of the row to hidden if the subreport returns no data. I've played with a few techniques but can't seem to get it right. Any ideas?
Is there a way to hide a column if there is no data for that column? Suppose that I have a SP (lets call it wrapper) which will call multiple SP's. But for any one run, there'll be only one SP which is called. But the columns returned by these SP's is obviously different. So, in order to accomodate the output, can I create a table, add all the possible columns to it, and set the properties of the individual columns such that they will be hidden if there is no data in them? Example, SP 1 returns - ServerName, Location, OS ; SP 2 returns ServerName and location only. Now if the wrapper SP calls only the second SP (SP 2) can I configure in such a way that the third column (OS) is not displayed at all? (In normal cases, it would appear but without any data in it)...
I want to be able to remove rows from the report if certain data in the row is 0. If a sales division has no sales for a district. there is no reason to show the district name or even to show an empty space for the row. I want to suppress the entire row without the user being able to see it or unhide it.
I want to hide the Code and Name attribute, i set the Display Width Pixel to 0 but it doesn't work, i tried to set "Deny" Permission to those attribute but it hasn't any effect.Im working with Master Data Services 2014/ SQL Server 2014 SP1.
My current report has around 40 subreports corresponding to tests executed by the user. There is a different sub report for each of the tests executed. I first developed the report by just putting the subreports directly on the main report. The problem is if some of my tests are not executed by the user I would like the subreports to not appear in the report.
I have tried doing this two different ways. First I tried creating a table and attaching that table to a dataset that I created that returns all the tests that were executed by the user. I then set up a filter that specified that the name for a specific subreport had to equal the test name. I then dropped the sub report for that particular test into the table. The idea is there would only be one row when data is available and no rows when no data is available so the subreport would not appear. When the data is available the subreport appears great. When it is not available and there is no item in the dataset for that test I get an error from SQL that states there was an internal reporting error and to check the SQL server log for more information. I know my table is set up correctly because when I replace the subreport with text the text will appear only if data is available for that test and the text does not appear if no data is available. I get no errors until I add the subreport and remove the data from the database so the filter does not return any items. Is there a reason why I would be getting this error? I am still pretty green using reporting services so I do not even understand how to get the log from the server to determine why this error is occuring.
Secondly I have tried to use an expression to hide the subreport using the visibility tab for the report. I was able to get this to work by creating a dataset that returns 1 if a specific test has been executed and no rows if not. I then created an expression that would return true if the dataset returned 1. This worked okay in hiding my subreport but I would then have to create 40 datasets, one for each test. Is there anyway to write an expression that would return true if a dataset contained a row with a specific test name? I have not been able to figure this out.
Can someone either help me fix the problem I am having with the table approach or write an expression that would work in the visibility setting for each sub report that did not require 40 datasets? Or is there another approach that I am not even thinking of that might work?
I am using the below expression for hidding the zero data labels in ssrs chart.=IIF(Fields!Name.Value=0,False,True). But this expression is working for some other charts. It is not wrking for only charts. I could not find the solution for that. How to hide the zero values.
I have a report with three subreport, i want to hide data of subreport while exporting reporting in to excel. I have used this function  (=IFF Globals! Render foramt.IsInteractive,False,True) but didnt work.
Hi I'm new to SQL Server. I have created a databased named Sample and I hae created the user with login named "Sman". SMan owns some tables and sp's. I'm able to access the tables and SP's when I was logged in as Sman in Query analyser. I have given a Sysadmin privilege to Sman then I'm not able to access the tables and sp's when i try to login with Sman.
ie, Select * From tabl1 is not working But Select * From Sman.tabl1 is working. I dont know Why is it so? Can any one help me!
SQL Server 2000 SP5a on Windows 2000 SP4Friday morning we discovered that we no longer have sysadminprivileges. We were able to query the syslogins table. In the outputwe can clearly see that our accounts do have the sysadmin privileges,since there is a 1 in that column. But yet we do not have sysadminprivs!?!?!?!??!?!? Puzzling.We are not able to get into the SA account, since no one knows thepassword. But we are in BUILTIN/Administrators, and we have many SQLServer authenticated accounts with sysadmin privs. But yet none ofthem seem to have the privilege.Saturday I was able to restart the instance (actually, several timesnow), but that does not seem to resolve the problem. I have alsorebooted the server, which does not solve the problem.The next option would be to restore Master from a few days ago, butsince I have no privileges I cant even do that!!!Help? Ideas?
is there a difference in the previleges of 'sa' login and other loginwith 'sysadmin' role (and 'db_owner' for all databases) ?can they do the exact same things ?
Hi How do i set my domain administrator account as a sysadmin account for SQL? I have an error when installing SCCM but it just because my domain administrator account (which I use to install the SCCM) does not have sysadmin SQL Server role permissions on the SQL Server instance targeted for site database installation.
We€™re running mixed mode authentication on our SQL Servers. To make the server €œsafer€? builtinadmininstrators no longer have sysadmin role on the sql server. If there is only one login with sysadmin role, and we lose track of the password, is there any way to recover it? How could we reset the password or create a new sa account with a new password? This situation has not occurred, but I€™m worried about how to recover from it should it occur. This question relates to SQL 2000 and SQL 2005.
Is it possible to show the user name (such as 'phuser') who is a member of the sysadmin group (NOT my idea!) I notice if you go to current connections is SQL EM the name shows, but if I login as that user if I try, user, user_name, etc inside of QA it shows DBO
Hello everybody . I have a group - SQL support.I want to give them rights to run any job from EM but I don't want them be a part of sa group What rights should I give them ? All existing jobs owned by members of sysadmin group.
Our SQL2000 server now allows all member of the Windows 2000 local administrators group log in with SysAdmin role.
I only want couple of people with sysadmin role. What should I do to prevent that. I was told once that I should delete the BUILTINAdministrator ID and manually add each window login ID to SQL server. Am I on the right track?
I have a SQL2005 in a cluster environment, for some reason the only way that user accounts can login to either the database or SSMS is to grant them the SysAdmin role. This access is a little to high for my liking and am wondering if anyone else has come across this before.
We set up a SQL Server 2005 box. When we set it up we did it with windows authentication, so the sa account is disabled. After everything was set up we were going to do some locking down. We added a domain account and gave it sysadmin rights. Next we went in to the sysadmin role and deleted the builtin/administrators group. This deleted all users except for the sa account. The sa account is disabled and we don't have a password for it. Not sure what to do next. Is there anyway to salvage this without have to completely reinstall? I can't enable sa because it says I don't have the rights, I can't add anyone to the sysadmin role because I don't have the rights. Why did it delete my domain account in the first place?
Hi guys,When I am trying to connect with SQL server 2005 as SQL server authentication mode in my won machine as a sysadmin user then a error is ochered."Login failed for user 'sa'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18452)". Please provide me a solution.
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.
Hello,I would like to know is it possible to disable drop database for saor sysadmin. If saor sysadmin needs to drop the database , he/she mayhave to change status in one of the system tables (sysdatabases ?) andthen only database can be dropped . This is to avoid dropping thedatabase by mistake by sa.In books online under drop databaseSystem databases (msdb, master, model, tempdb) cannot be droppedI would like to know how this is implemented for system databases ?ThanksM A Srinivas
Platform: Win2000 SP3, SQL 7.00 - 7.00.1063I have a SQL-authenticated user with the following permissions:"Process Administrators" server role"db_owner" and "TargetServersRole" for msdb database"db_owner" for master database.The problem is that when this user opens up any job (i.e. owned by anyuser) in the SQL Server Agent, and goes to the Notifications tab, thefirst three alerts (Email, Page and Net send) are greyed out, i.e.these cannot be set.The other options are available (Write to Windows application eventlog, Automatically delete job).The only way I can achieve this is to give this user the "SystemAdministrators" server role, i.e. sa.But this of course gives absolutely full access, which I don't want.Is there a way for a user to see/change Notifications of jobs whichonly he owns?
Alright, this should be a simple question, but I don't know the answer.
I created a group in our Active Directory, and added myself and another member of my team to the group. I then went into SQL 2005 management studio and added the group as a new login, and gave the group the sysadmin role.
The idea is for us to be able to connect with Windows Security to do administrative tasks on the server versus logging in with SA.
The problem, is that we cannot connect. It does not allow us to login. Do I have to do mappings for each database too?
