Granting Permissions To Developers
Jun 18, 2007
Hi Everyone,
Were looking from some feedback, thoughts, comments, suggestions on a permissions issue in our SQL Server 2005 environment. We have a Development (stand-alone server) and Production (activepassive cluster). Both running SP2. We're looking for the best way to manage permissions for the developers without giving them dbo privileges.
As background information, here's a note / response from a developer outlining the permission they need.
-----------------------------------------
"Our team needs enough permissions on DB database to:
Create and modify DB object such as tables, stored procedures, keys, triggers, views, ...
Be able to execute stored procedures and other basic DB objects
One of the issue I had when working on DatabaseA which was never resolved was that I could create tables, but had no rights to modify them once created.
I could modify them via scripts, but not via graphical interface which is a pain.
I think we should have full permissions to dev DB other than to drop DB, and modify system DB settings.
So that we can work within the created DB shell completely."
-----------------------------------------
Previous to supporting the current SQL Server 2005 environment, the developersapp owners had db_owner for their databases. Definitely not a best practice as with 2005 db_owner is ablke to delete databases. Moving away from this, we thought we would scale them back and only grant them the following database roles:
db_datareader
db_datawriter
db_ddladmin
With these roles, they were able to create the tables, views, stored procedures, etc...... but problems arose when they tried to modify the objects they created as well as execute stored procedures. It's going to be a pain to grant permissions on each stored procedure. More of a mystery is allowing them to make design changes within Studio Manager. Given they can already do this using scripts but not the GUI.
So there is an issue with using GUI tools to design the tables.
Here's a thread we found that tries to explain the reason why they can't use the GUI to make design changes.
Even if you have CREATE TABLE permission, there are limitations to the modifications you can make. Remember, as you modify an existing table or design a new one, your work can induce attendant modifications in other tables. For example, if you change the data type of a foreign-key column, the corresponding column in the primary-key table will be automatically modified by the Visual Database Tools. If you do not own the primary-key table, and you are not logged in as the system administrator, database owner, or a user that is a member of the db_owner role, your modification will fail.
When we created the accounts, we assigned the default schema to be 'dbo'. This was thought to simplify administration of the objects. In SQL Server 2000, this was a best practice. Now, in SQL Server 2005, they changed everything with the user schema separation.
So we have a developer (devuser) - created with default schema (dbo). Any object that are being created are owned by dbo. (ie... dbo.table1, dbo.storedproc1, etc..) So dbo owns the objects, not the user.
Does anyone have any ideas? Do we create a new schema and assign permissions? Do we create a new fixed database role for the developers? I'm curious as to how others are assigning permissions to developers on development and production servers.
Thanks,
Rob

I am trying to grant permission to one table for one individual and one group. I tried to accomplish this by simply going in and editing the permissions on the table through Enterprise Manager. It keeps getting stuck. I then ran the Grant select on (table name) to the group and it has been running for over 15 minutes. This should be something that is done relatively quickly.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks

i was asked by a user this morning to create an ID for him and give the ID SELECT permissions to all tables in a database. This database has over 300 tables. The only way that I could see to do this is to use the Object Permissions dialog box and manually grant the SELECT permission to each table for this users. Is there a TSQL statement that will grant the Select permission to each table in a database? The only thing I found was to use the GRANT statement, but I would have to run it on each table. I would like to be able to run 1 statement that will assign SELECT permissions to each table in the database.
Thanks,

Hi all,
I've got a MS SQL database and I created a user using this code:
EXEC sp_addlogin 'USERNAME','PASSWORD'
GO
USE DATABASE
GO
EXEC sp_revokedbaccess 'USERNAME'
EXEC sp_grantdbaccess 'USERNAME'
GO
But when I log into the database using the created user and try create a table, I get an permissions denied message.
Thanks in advance

Hi
I am using SQL Express2005 on my local machine. How do I grant access permissions to ASPNET in order to log onto a database? I have the SQL management studio installed to do this but I can't seem to find the option to grant permissions.
At the moment the access is granted to MYMACHINE_NAMEMY_USER_NAME.
I am using VS2003
Thanks

I have 500 tables in my Db.In those some tables name starts with abc (abc_emp,abc_dept) and rest of the tables name start with xyz(xyz_emp,xyz_transactions).I wanted to give select,insert,update and delete permissions for an user on the tables which starts with abc.
How can i do that in a much easier and sophisticated way.
Thanks.

When granting INSERT, DELETE permissions, is this done for
the logon-id OR for the user associated with the logon-id?
I know you can do this for roles.

All,
I have been asked to grant a Windows group Full access to all tables under our Sandbox Schema. This will allow these users to do anything to the tables under this Schema.
I created the Windows Group (Sandbox Users), created the login in SQL, created the user in the database that is tied to the Windows group, then ran GRANT CONTROL ON SCHEMA::[Sandbox] TO [Sandbox Users].
I have verified that the users are in the Windows group, but they state that they still can not delete tables under the Sandbox Schema.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Justin

Any help would be greatfully recieved.

Prior to our move to 2005...permissions were granted to developers by adding them to the following fixed database roles...db_ddladmin, db_datareader, db_datawriter, and db_securityadmin. They created their objects using 'dbo' as the owner.
After upgrading to 2005, suddently they are having difficulty accessing their objects with this same security. Do they need permissions on the dbo schema?

I have stored procedures. I have heard that it is a best practice to use stored procedures to encapsulate some SQL statements and then grant permissions to execute the stored procedure. But when I try this and use EXECUTE AS to test it out, the user in question gets errors about not having access to some of the underlying objects.
How does this best practice work? If I need to grant the user permissions to the underlying objects anyway, I am not sure why a stored procedure is considered best practice in this regard.

How do I allow a user (or group of users) permission to create/drop a table?
I have found the 'GRANT CREATE TABLE TO username' command, which will (I assume) allow a user to create a table, but how to I allow a user to 'DROP' the created table as well?
'GRANT DROP TABLE TO username' doesn't work?
and I want the users to be able to DROP/DELETE this table (temporary table created just for printing purposes) as well.
thanks

The developers in our shop have a need to explicitly grant view definition permissions to themselves on stored procedures they create in their development databases. They have dbo level permissions in these databases and although they can explicitly grant view definition permissions to other developers in the same database, they are unable to do so for themselves. When they attempt this, it appears that they are successful but when they check the stored procedure afterwards the permission is not there for themselves.
While this does not cause an issue in development, the intention is for these view definition permissions to be carried forward to the test and production databases where they only have datareader permissions.
When these stored procedures are scripted out by the dba to move to Test and Production the view definition permissions are not scripted out for the developer in question.
Is there a way that a developer with dbo rights in a database can explicitly grant themselves view definition permissions on a stored procedure they create as dbo?

Our databases are hosted on a shared server managed by our IT department. We do not have SA access to them. If we want to create or drop a database, we ask, they approve it and then give us permissions on it. It's a bit tedious, but we live with it. However, there are other features that we want.
Is it possible in SQL Server 2005 to gain certain priveleges that a SA has without being SA? Mainly, can we:
1. Be given priveleges to run the Tuning Advisor? We would love to be able to index our tables, but we are not sure what would be the most efficient approach, and the tuning advisor could help us with this.
2. Run the SQL Server Profiler. I see when I try to access it that you need SA or ALTER TRACE permissions - since you can see all the transactions going on in the database at a time. Can we limit it to only our transactions? Is this possible?
Or is it best to request our own instance? Is that a tedious request for an IT department? Thank you.

I have an application, the front end is Access and the back end is sql server 2008 express.
The application does not display the view on a user's machine. Do I have to grant permission for the user, in order for the VIEW to display?
I have tried granting permission, but I am doing something wrong.

Hi,
I'm trying to write a script to grant privileges to a user (we are trying to allow Windows Authentication in our application).
Previously, we used the following syntax:
grant select, insert, delete, update on area to mattuser
Where mattuser is a valid sql server user.
However, we want to do something like the following:
grant select, insert, delete, update on area to MATT2000IUSR_MATT2000
Where IUSR_MATT2000 is a valid user on computer MATT2000.
We get an error when we try to run this script as follows:
Incorrect syntax near ''
How do we grant permissions for this user, other than doing it manually?
Regards.
Matt.

Within my Report Manager, I have several folders, and I would like these folders to be only visible to certain users and groups. In the Active Directory I have DOMAINGroupName1. If I add this group to the folder I want them to have access to with a Browser role, when they open Report Manager they do not see the folder at all. Then I added the same group to the HOME folder also, but again they could not see their folder when they opened the Report Manager. If I add the Users of this group individually (DOMAINUser1, DOMAINUser2 etc) then they can see the folder and run reports just fine. This is not an ideal solution as groups will change over time and I don't want to have to keep adding and deleting members. Anyone got any ideas why they can't see their folder?
Thanks!

I'm really new to MSDE so I just want to know...Is SQL Server 2000 a prerequisite for MSDE particularly for developers? If yes, then is it(SQL Server 2000) a prerequisite for clients?
The thing is, I can't find a tool where I can create databases after installing MSDE...the only way I can think of is also installing SQL Server 2000 and create the database from there...

What is the best way to grant a user permission to create a view?I first created a role using enterprise manager but for the role Icreated it doesn't seem to offer that permission. It offers the basicstuff such as insert, select, and update.I could go in and use a grant create view sql statement I suppose butI'd rather do it through enterprise manager where it would be visibleif I need to change it in the future.-David

Hi,
I am using windows authentication to access SQL Server 2005 objects. I have created a database role which grants select permission to only 2 tables in the database. I have added the domain user to this role. So the user should be able to select data from only those tables but when i try to select data from other tables also it displays the data which shouldnt happen. Could you please let me know whether there is any specific setting that needs to be done? Also is there anything to do with the schema level permission setting?

This may be an intuitively obvious question, and if so, I apologize.
Speaking in terms of best practices here, what is the preferred method for allowing developers to work with databases in SQL Server? If they use Management Studio, then they have access to tools for perhaps messing with other databases, etc. that they should not (assuming it is not correctly secured). Likewise with Enterprise Manager. I can see where they would use Query Analyzer, but these two are now combined in Management Studio.
I'm just inquiring into how other DBA's do this. I realize there are DBA's that are developers and vice-versa, but what if there is a clear line of distinction and you want to keep the tools used in these roles separate?
Thanks in advance.
Kevin
