I am trying to export all of the user and role permissions out of several databases for auditing purposes. I see the Users and Roles listed under the Security tree view when I log into the database, but I do not see an option to export or query the permissions. In addition, we do not have any tables that reference user permissions in our databases. So, how would one go about exporting or querying this information?
I've seen similar topics where they recommend querying sys tables to gather the info, but I don't see those tables either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
All my thanks!

Edit: I should add in that I am connecting to 7 and 2k DBs using 2k5 SMS. Not sure if that makes a difference...
I'd appreciate your thoughts on this. Not done too much DB admin. Usually I do development work and the admins to the admin.
The database is behind an API of stored procedures to manipulate the data, and views to select the data.
The database needs to be accessed remotely by multiple clients.
How best to keep the database secure?
Create a new user and login on the database which is made known to all client applications. Then grant execute permission on the stored procs and grant select on the views?
There is probably a better way than one login for all? Should I be looking at roles and groups etc? If so, how best to set that up?
How would I, using a sql script, copy permissions assigned to a useror a role in one or more databases to another user or a role in theirrespective databases?Help appreciated
Where can I find the information about dbcc setcpuweight? I checked books online and couldn't find it. I also went and searched Google with the same results. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I created a new database role to give a number of users select privilege only on some tables and every day I have to go back in and add the tables back to the role. Is there something I'm missing here?
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
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.
Every 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?
We have been working on an application that will be using a forms-authenticated report server (RS2005) as a reporting back-end. Using the reporting services web service I have been able to assign permissions to objects in reporting services no problem. The issue is that each user needs to be added to the System User role to be able to use the report builder properly. I can't seem to find a way to do this programmatically. Any idea?
We have an audit issue that is requiring me to revoke the select permissions from the public role to the system tables. Has anyone had to do this?? What problems did you experience? Are their any tables that you were not able to change the permissions on? Any help is greatly appreciated.
I have a stored procedure in which at the bottom of the code, im granting execute permissions to a role I have defined. However, when I view the permissions on the procedure, the role isnt there, what could I be missing ? The procedures were all created under the default or dbo schema. I could manually give the permissions to the role, but id rather have it scripted.
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:
I'm trying to deploy a project that I deployed yesterday just fine, but today I get the following error:
------ Deploy started: Project: Point Reports, Configuration: Debug ------
Deploying to http://reporting.companyname.com/reportserver
Deploying data source '/Data Sources/Srv24.FieldResponse2_1'.
The permissions granted to user 'DOMAINharley.p.bartman' are insufficient for performing this operation.
Deploy complete -- 1 errors, 0 warnings
This seems like a basic permission issue, except I'm not logged in as the user listed! I've never logged into my computer as the user. I did log in to the reporting services website yesterday as that user, but since have rebooted my machine and logged into bothe my computer and the reporting services website as me. Yesterday this report deployed fine. Today, this error message. I've even tried creating a new project and just creating a simple datasource and deploying just that, but still this message! Where is Visual Studio storing and reusing this user name during my deploy process???
The end users are using VB Applications, there they will be entering datas. Those datas will be stored in the SMS Database.
My Problem is through which Roles (Fixed Server Roles or Database Roles) I should attach these end users. If it is a Fixed Server Roles, Other than sysadmin role in which role I should attach this end user. Like that other than DB_Owner in which role I should attach these end users to the Database Roles.
I have a user with DBCREATOR Server role only. That user is able to create database but create table permission denied. how would I set permission on this user, so that this user can create databases and automatically becomes the DBOWNER of that database and can do any action on that database.
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.
Hi, I have got a problem. When I try to access my database table Users, I get the following error:
SELECT permission denied on object 'Users', database 'Users', owner 'dbo'.
So I tried to grand this select command in MS Web Data Administration, but it doesnt work. When I try to grand db_datareader role to dbo, I get the following error
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot use the reserved user or role name 'db_datareader'.
Does someone have an idea where could be a problem?
I'm rather new to the MS SQL Server development in general and especially to its data security architecture and features - I'd like to know if it is possible for end-user to retrieve/update(!?) the data using a SP which executes on a table for which she/he doesn't have any privileges.
Is there a System stored procedure that gives me the Role in which a user is in. For example I execute this procedure, give the user as parameter an that gives me back the Role the user is in. It has to be said that this is a user defined role, I got three of them, HR, Employee, Approver.
I would like to determine if a particular user has sysadmin serverrole. Is there a way to do this via the connection string? Currentlyour code checks if a login is valid using SQLDriverConnect, however weneed to be certain that the user can login and modify the schema.Is it possible to fetch a user's server role to determine if it has asysadmin server role?
I wish to create a user that can backup any or all databases in our SQLServer 2000 Instance. I thought there would be a server role for thisfunction, however I can only find that after I grant access of adatabase to the user, then I can choose ds_backupoperator.I want to create a user that will have the ability to backup all thedatabases. I dont wish to have to come back to the server after a newtable is created and add the backup user to that table.I want SA w/o the full privilage...am I crazy?Any Suggestions?TIARobBackgroup: We currently have about 10 SQL servers, and adding more inthe future. I am using SQLBackup from Idera along with HP SurestoreTape library (60 slots,2- DLT8000 drives with 40/80 GB capacity) withArcServe from Computer Associates. I want to have this automated tobackup to file then tape, regardless of what databases get created.
I have a user in SQL Server 2000 with public, datareader and datawriter roles on several databases. I need to select all those databases, how can I do that. I have tried sp_databases but I get ALL databases. I also tried sp_MShasdbaccess but I still get all databases.
