What permissions/roles/etc. are necessary for a SQL login to see and start jobs.
Thanks, I'm having trouble with sp_start_job (it says job does not exists, that another user can run just fine...)

I have a number of jobs that will need to be run in an adhoc fashion(no set schedule).
I will be utilizing a mainframe operations staff and would like to limit their access on SQLServer
as much as possible while allowing them start jobs and view history. What would be the best way to go about this?
Thanks in advance.
I have a DTS package that exports data to a file, then run Win32 process pkzip to compress it to make it 4MB from 30MB so it can be emailed.
As this is to be run daily, I scheduled it, i.e. created a Job.
When running as a Job it fails in the pkzip section. The sqlservice account is not an NT system account for security reasons.
any ideas ?
TIA

I have several users that are a member
of a Windows Nt group. I want to be
able to allow this group to create,
update, and delete SQL Agent Jobs.
But I do not want them to be members
of the SYSADMIN role.
Everything that I have found states
that they must be members of this
server role to perform these actions.
Does anyone have an idea on how to
accomplish this? or point me in some
kind of direction to explore.

I have a job with a single ActiveX step that I have setup and am having problems running.
If i set the SQL Server Agent to run as an Administrator then my job processes fine however under the default setup which has the SQL Server Agent running as Local System I get an error.
I assume this is permissions problem so I created a basic windows user called ABC. I then created a credential called ABC linked to the windows user ABC. I then created a proxy that uses the credential ABC and then ticked the box that allows the proxy to run ActiveX scripts. I then set the ABC as a principle of the proxy.
I then set my single job step to be run under the ABC credential.
Still no luck. This is the first time i've worked with this sort of thing so I'm not sure if I'm going about it in the right way.
Please explain how i can have a job that runs as an active X script. I understand running sql server agent as administrator is bad for security so what are the alternatives?
Permissions on SQL Server Agent.
I would like to assign the permission to user ,who can edit all SQL agent job(even own by others) without assigning the sysadmin role.
This is sort of a DR issue since it involves reboots and power failures.
We have MSSQL 2005 SP1 and unpatched systems, but in particular we have this problem still with the SP1 server (in addition to the unpatched systems). Running on Win 2k3.
It seems that upon reboot, our stored SSIS jobs lose their pemissions and/or ownership for execution. It doesn't happen at every reboot or power failure, but seemingly more than half the time.
Here is the error reported:
The job failed. The owner () of job Job_1 does not have server access.
But checking the properties of the job and it shows an valid owner in the Owner field. I believe we are using Active Directory for authentication and the user listed is valid in that respect.
We have "fixed" this problem before by removing the job completely and re-installing it, with the same owner. No issues until the next system outage.
Has anyone else seen this before? Is there a fix or is this some kind of bug?
Is there a way to grant a group of users the ability to execute some jobs on a server, but restrict their access to others.
We'd like to grant our developers the permission to execute their jobs (many developers and we'd like to avoid a shared account) without giving them the ability to execute our backup, reindex, etc jobs.
Is there a way to grant execute on some jobs, but not all to a Windows group?
We're using the new msdb SQLAgent role to allow them to see all jobs and view output, but there doesn't seem to be a way to grant execute on specific jobs only.
Thanks
Hi While we are migrating Access Database to SQL Server, we would like to keep the Access Database running on schedule in steps until we migrate everything in SQL Server. I have created a SQL Server Job under “Operating System Command (CmdExec)� and in command, pointed where the Access Database is located.
I have created this job as an Admin, so admin has full rights. But when I run this job it does not execute Access Database and gives an error. Following (under dotted line) is the error from Event Log.…………………………………………………..Event Type: WarningEvent Source: SQLSERVERAGENTEvent Category: Job Engine Event ID: 208Date: 11/21/2006Time: 9:15:53 AMUser: N/AComputer: SqlServer01Description:SQL Server Scheduled Job 'Test' (0x86BC5A6881DF1E48BF270E6513B2A0DD) - Status: Failed - Invoked on: 2006-11-21 09:15:51 - Message: The job failed. The Job was invoked by User admin. The last step to run was step 1 (test).
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.……………………………………………………
I had replaced access database with some exe file then ran the job. Job ran fine. Why SQL Server job is not able to execute Access Database?
Note: SQL Server has Access Database installed.
Please let me know. I know this is not a very common situation but this is also an option available to utilize.
ThanksRashid
Hello. I am using SQL Server Management Studio (SQL 2005) and created a daily backup job. Inside the job, i have an "Operating system" step to copy backuped up files onto another directory. However, the job kept on failing with an error "Executed as user ... Access is denied." With this error, how can i change the user used to execute the job? Thanks.

In this example ….. I have a sql user id called 'toronto' with the permissions it acquired by being added to the db_datareader (READ) & db_datawriter (ADD, CHANGE, DELETE) database roles in the 'getranet' database.
However, the 'toronto' account is unable to execute or run any of the 240 stored procedures in the 'getranet' database with only these permissions, at least that's the results I'm getting.
Solution #1: If I add the toronto id to the db_dbowners role (PERFORM ANY ACTIVITY) in the 'getranet' database, the problem is resolved. I would rather not use this approach because with these permissions the id can delete the db, or tables etc… and I'm not the only one with the id and password.
Solution #2: I created a new database role (SP_EXECUTE) in the 'getranet' database, and granted the role 'execute' permissions to all 240 stored procedures in the database, added the 'toronto' id to the SP_EXECUTE role, the problem is resolved.
This solution works fine but it will require more maintenance, anytime a stored procedure is added or modified I will have to remember to update the SP_EXECUTE database role in the getranet database. Hey, I will forget once in a while, apply thumb screws here.
So my question is …. Am I approaching this all wrong? Is there a 3rd, 4th or a better solution (White Elephant) that I just can't see?
I just thought I would ask…..
HI There
I need a little help.
I have created a stored procedure that executes when a service broker message is received, this sp then exec's sp_send_dbmail.
But i keep getting the error that execute permission is denied on sp_send_dbmail.
Fair enough but i have no idea who to grant the execute permissions to ? The sp is called by the endpoint service of the service broker queue, the sp is owned by dbo who is 'sa', i have tried altering the sp to execute as 'dbo' or as caller, but is still get the same error.
I have tried to exec sp_send_dbmail as 'sa' and it works.
I do not know under what user this sp executes when the service calls the sp, i also cannot get it to work with an execute as dbo statement even though dbo is 'sa' ?
Please help ?
Not sure if this should be posted under service broker becuase this post is more related to permissions ?
Thanx

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a group of users that I have given db_datareader permissions to in an SQL Server 2000 database. I am also creating web pages on an intranet site that pulls data from the table. If I just use a select statement to pull the data from the table, the users don’t have a problem. If I use a stored procedure with the exact same sql statement, the users get an error until I grant them execute permissions on the stored procedure.
I have heard that store procedures is the best way to handle data operations but having to make sure I assign execute permissions every time I create a stored procedures can be a pain. The only way I know of to make sure that they had permissions would be to make them a member of db_Owner which is definitely not an option.
Is this just the way it is, or is there some way to automatically grant them execute permissions on stored procedures that are nothing more than select statements and don’t violate db_datareader permissions?

Consider the following:
create procedure jason_test

bulk insert SCORPIO_STAGE_BULK_DATAPDCC from 'd:BulkTestonmech_stat_apd_clark_credit.dat' with (formatfile = 'd:BulkTestDATAPDCC.fmt')

as
bulk insert SCORPIO_STAGE_BULK_DATAPDCC from 'd:BulkTestonmech_stat_apd_clark_credit.dat' with (formatfile = 'd:BulkTestDATAPDCC.fmt')
go
Then, log into SQL Server via management stuido as the SQL user "bulk_insert_test_jcb" this user has server-level bulk admin rights and execute rights on both of these stored procs:
exec jason_test
This works
exec jason_test_exec
gives:
Msg 4834, Level 16, State 1, Procedure jason_test_exec, Line 4
You do not have permission to use the bulk load statement.
Can you help me with this? Why is the user prevented from running this bulk insert inside the stored proc with "execute as" ? The profiler trace from both of these stored procs have identical results for the SP: StmtStarting event.
Thanks!

HI,
would like to know how to give execute permissions for all the stored procedures in a database at one shot. please advise.
Ive created a DAL called Artist.xsd. Ive used stored procedures to access the data. The wizard created a stored procedure called 'dbo.ArtistSelectCommand' Ive granted the ASPNET account execute permissions on this stored procedure When I run the application and try to execute the stored proc, I get this error
EXECUTE permission denied on object 'ArtistSelectCommand', database 'EBSNet', owner 'dbo'.
as far as im aware ive givne the ASPNET account the correct permissions
EXEC sp_grantlogin [MachineNameASPNET]
EXEC sp_grantdbaccess [MachineNameASPNET], [ASPNET]
** Ive also done this by selecting the stored proc in sql server 2005 and setting permissions by right clicking and selecting properties.
Is there anything else I need to do ?
Bit of an emergency!
I do not have direct access to our SQL Server but I have full FTP access to the web server and have the db Username/passwords.
I need to grant execute permissions on a stored procedure, can I do this from an asp/ASP.NET page?
The DB guys take 24 hours to run a script against the database!
Any help would be greatfully recieved.

In our development and test environments the developers need to create and execute stored procedures as dbo without having any other dbo permissions. If I place them in db_owner, they have too many permissions. Is there a way to address this situation?
I'm also curious how other companies address the subject of creating stored procedures in development and test environments. If I give developers create and execute permission in a database, all objects would be created as JohnDoe.storedprocedurename instead of dbo.storedprocedurename. Any help in this area is appreciated.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a database which contains a stored procedure. The stored procedure contains an update script to a different database. The user group have access to the database that stores the stored procedure but do not have update rights to the database that contains the data that is being updated.
Therefore, every time the user group executes the stored procedure it fails because the security permissions do not propagate to the next database.
Is there anything I can do to get around this without grant dbo permissions to the whole user group.
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.
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.
help ?
Hi All,
I'm just upgrading my business database to SQL 2005 and hit a problem when executing a stored procedure in the msdb database. Error message reading "EXECUTE permission denied on object 'sp_delete_job'".
Obviously this message tells me that I do not have permissions to execute stored procedures in the MSDB database.
In SQL 2000 I never had to mess around with permissions on this database as the security was already pre-configured.
I'm still familiarising myself with SQL 2005 so rather than making a finger in the air guess I'd like to understand how SQL 2000 was configured and the best solution for resolving this in SQL2005.
I'm really after some advice/suggestions!
I am writing a SQL 2000 stored procedure which uses an €˜EXEC @sqlString€™ statement. The @sqlString is generated at runtime. I want to give as few permissions as possible and currently allow users to access the database tables using only the stored procedures provided. However, with €˜Exec€™ I discover that I need to grant permissions on the actual tables to the users or groups. I would like to avoid this. I would also prefer not having to maintain a separate user with table level permissions and hardcoding the stored procedure with these details.
Is there anyway for me to dynamically generate the required SQL statement within my stored procedure and let SQL know that this stored procedure is allowed to select whatever tables it wants to without having to define permissions on the tables?
To use Reporting Services as a rendering engine I want to configure a local user on the server that has only the minimum set of permissions and user rights. The server is W2K3 SP2 and SQL 9.0.3200.
In particular, this local user has been removed from the local "Users" group and so is the "Authenticated Users" built-in group. In Reporting Services, it is mapped to a role that only has the "Execute Report Definitions" task permission.
Then, following the details in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/812614/ (Default permissions and user rights for IIS 6.0) I added all file security and local user rights required for "Users" and also granted and propagated "Read&Execute" on the "Reporting Services" folder and verified this using "Effective Permissions" on the ReportService2005.asmx file.
However, I still get 401 Unauthorized, also after a complete restart of all related machines and services.
Once I add the user or "Authenticated Users" back to "Users" everything works fine.
What permissions might I be missing? Where could I find those permission requirements documented?
I tried analyzing the 401 using auditing file and object access security but to no avail. There are no Failure audit entries in the Security log.
How can I investigate the minimum permission set?
What is the risk of leaving the user in the "Users" local group?
Any help appreciated.
Using SQL Server 2k5 sp1, Is there a way to deny users access to a specific column in a table and deny that same column to all stored procedures and views that use that column? I have a password field in a database in which I do not want anyone to have select permissions on (except one user). I denied access in the table itself, however the views still allow for the user to select that password. I know I can go through and set this on a view by view basis, but I am looking for something a little more global.

I'm looking for a way to refer to a package variable within any
Transact-SQL code included in either an Execute SQL or Execute T-SQL
task. If this can be done, I need to know the technique to use -
whether it's something similar to a parameter placeholder question
mark or something else.
FYI - I've been able to successfully execute Transact-SQL statements
within the Execute SQL task, so I don't think the Execute T-SQL task
is even necessary for this purpose.
