Permissions With Windows Groups And View To Other Databases
Aug 24, 2007
I am having a problem with permissions using Windows groups. I have a database (database1) that has permissions granted via Windows groups. Two groups (group1 and group2) are members of the db_datareader role in database1, and this work fine. Do to the number of tables that get created during our work, using db_datareader is the easiest way to keep up with permissions without creating a maintenance problem. Now I have a table that I want to add to this database, but I only want group2 to have select permission on this one table which is a problem because group1 has the db_datareader role. So I thought I could create a view in this database to the restricted table that I put in database2. Then in database2 I only added group2 as a user with the permission to select from this table. Unfortunately the group membership does not seem to get interpretted correctly in database2 and no one can successfult select from the view in database1.
In other words, user1 who belongs to group1 connects to database1 and cannot select from the restricted view -- this is what I would expect. However, when user2 who belongs to group2 connects to database1 they also cannot select from the restricted view -- not the behvior I would expect. Now, if I make user2 a user in database2 with select on the restricted table then user2 can connect to database1 and successfuly get data from the restricted view. So it looks like the fact that user2 belongs to group2 is never passed to database2 via the select from the view on database1. Is this indeed the way that Windows group security is working or is meant to work in SQL Server?
I realize I could solve this simplified version of the problem by creating my own role in database1 for group1 etc., but I am trying to solve a bigger problem in our environment that has hundreds of databases across numerous servers.
Thanks
Rob

HiI have two databases: Customers and Operations. In Customers database I havemade a view based on a few tables from both Customers and Operations (leftjoin - customers without any operations). In the same database (Customers) Ihave created a stored procedure based on the view. Finally I'd like to giveto some users permission only to exec the stored procedure.Have I to add the users to Customers? If yes, please describe me how tolimit the users privileges only to execution the stored procedure (no rightsto open tables or view from Customers).Regards,GrzegorzPs. I had sent the post on microsoft.public.sqlserver.security, but I had noanswer.

I am converting a relatively large multi-user Access 97 database toSQL Server 2000. I use about a dozen groups to manage security,providing graduated levels of access to each group. I read that inSQL Server a user can belong to only two groups, "users" and oneother. If this is true, can someone point me in the right directionas to how I could get around this limitaion?Thanks,Bob C.

Hi,
This is regarding permission issue in windows-authenticated sql server 2000.
I have two NT groups namely A & B.
Groups A has all permissions on SQLDB1 while group B has all on SQLDB1 and SQLDB2.
Since I dont want B to have INS/UPD/DEL rights on SQLDB1, I revoked those permissions for B on the same. But users belonging to both groups suffer INS/UPD/DEL rights on SQLDB1.
Could anyone help please ?
Thanks in advance.

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.

Hi
installing sql express sp1 on SBS Win 2000 box
It's up to database services, and then fails - i've tried this a number of times.
The message box says "The installer has encountered an unexpected error. The code is 2380. Error opening file for write. GetLastError: SoftwareMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1Setup"
The admin account did not have full admin privileges for this key and subkey- why ?
I was installing under the domain administrator account....
I fixed this, and now the latest error is as follows from the log
QL_ERROR (-1) in OdbcConnection::connect
sqlstate=08001, level=-1, state=-1, native_error=21, msg=[Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Encryption not supported on the client.

sqlstate=08001, level=-1, state=-1, native_error=0, msg=[Microsoft][SQL Native Client]An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.
Error Code: 0x80070015 (21)
Windows Error Text: The device is not ready.
Source File Name: libodbc_connection.cpp

Please HELP !!!

Hi, i had installed on a lan, sql server 2000 (administrative and client tools) on workstations with windows nt4 ws.
The problem is that i shouldnīt give users permissions of "local administrator".
If I give them permissions of only "local users" they canīt start sql services, but they can start the enterprise manager.
If I give them permissions of "advanced users" they can start sql services, but they canīt start the enterprise manager.
What can i do for this to work well, without give them manager rights?
Thank you.

Hi there,I have an Access front end application that uses a SQL Server 2000Desktop Edition backend. I have created a package with the Access2003 runtime that I'd now like to deploy. I have created a globalgroup in the domain and placed the users that I'd like to give accessto the database (via my application front end) in that group. I'vethen created a local group on the SQL Server machine and added myglobal SQL Server group to it. I've also added that local group asdatabase user from SQL Server. From my reading of the variousmaterial on the Internet this should work but it doesn't. I can'taccess the database via the application from any machine other than mydevelopment machine. My VBA code specifies integrated security forthe connection string.Help please! I'm so close to deploying this and now I'm bogged downin security. Any ideas anyone has would be appreciated. Accountadministration and Windows security is not my strong suit.Barb

Hi
We are planning implementation of a currently Sybase db. The users (about 3600) will be i 5 domains and we want single sign-on through trusted connections. We want to use the database roles to define different user access on databases and tables. There will be around 2000 roles. We also want to add the users directly to the database roles without having to grant each user database access.
So I thought that I could add the user groups from all domains and then add each domain user account to specified database roles. Am I right here or what? The Windows authentication will lookup or check the users kerberos ticket during logon process and allow logon.
The documentation here is weak and I assume it's a windows authentication question but wondered if any of you guys had been down the same road.
For creating the groups I have the following options:
Create a domain group and put all the usergroups from the other domains in this group
Add user groups from all other domains directly into the SQL Server.
Any recommendations here?

Those of you who have installed SQL Server 2005 may have noticed that the installation creates several new Windows groups on the server. Do not underestimate the importance of these groups.

I created a Windows Group in Active Directory ("Database1Users"). populated it with users, and planned to allow everyone in it to have access to a sql 2005 database.
I went to the sql server, Security (at the general level), Logins, New login, and created the Login "<domain name>Database1Users". I assigned "Database1" as Default database, selected the database and assigned it to the above user name (which is actually a group name). I also typed in a default schema of "dbo" and gave the user account the role "db_owner" (just learning....) . Pressing OK gave me this error message:
>>>>
The DEFAULT_SCHEMA clause can not be used with a Windows Group or with principals mapped to certificates or an asymmetric keys."
>>>>
Oh..... how am I supposed to map a Windows group to give the users the access they need?
TIA,

Hi,
We have just created a new Windows 2008 server running SQL 2005 64 bit. I am in the process of migrating old SQL 2000 databases onto this new server. One of the databases required a SQL login for some Windows groups that get created from the SMS software. I'm having a problem when I go into create a new login, select object type Groups, from this location , I enter the object name and click Check Names and it finds it. I select okay and everything looks good. But when I click ok on the New Login screen, I get the 15401 error saying that Windows NT user or group not found. I have gone into the Server Manager - Groups and verified that the group exists, and it does. The only thing I see when I click properties is on the bottom right had side of the screen it says "Changes to a user's group membership are not effective until the next time the user logs on." It says this for all the groups on this server and I get the same error message when I try to add any group. I have had the user that is a memeber of this group log off and back on a few times, but it still says the same thing and I still get the same error.
Anyone have any ideas on what the problem might be? Is there something on the Windows 2008 server setup that we missed?
Thanks,
Isabelle

I have an environment where I would like to grant the ability to perform certain functions to specific users for all databases on one of my SQL Servers. Specifically, I want to allow someone to alter table structures on the server, without having the ability to modify data within any databases on the server and without having the ability to create new databases on the server. Is this possible, and if so, how?

We have several servers running SQL Server 2005. Each of these were upgraded from SQL Server 2000. Each server has about 50 databases on it. Each database has a table with the same name, containing login information to the database that the table resides in.
We have a VB 6.0 application that allows our Help Desk to do a SELECT on the table that contains login information. All it does is a SELECT; no UPDATEs, DELETEs, INSERTs, or DDL operations are performed by this application. The application logs into the databases using a Security Group login (let's call it MyGroup). Each member of the Help Desk team is a member of MyGroup.
About twice a month, the MyGroup security group loses SELECT permissions on all of the databases on a server. The server affected usually is different each time, but sometimes the same server will be affected two times in a row.
So far, we just run a script to update the SELECT permissions on the table in each of the databases, and this takes care of the problem (for now). But the problem seems to be recurring regularly.
What would make the server lose all permissions for a particular security group? The other logins continue to work fine. Only this one security group seems to be affected.
I just can't figure this one out! Help, please!

Hi,
I have created a Windows user login and have granted it the appropriate roles (including a revoke).
As a test I also created a standard user and gave it the same roles as above.
When I run a query against the revoked table, the results are unexpected.
The Windows user can run the query, and the standard user gets a permissions error (which is what i expect).
Does anyone have any ideas as to what is happening here? I am still confused.... Does it have anything to do with the public permission that much be granted?
Thanks

I followed T-SQL instructions from Steve Gott (Thanks!) to alter the dbo schema and granted create a view permissions for one of my users. She can now create a view, however, she can not save the view she creates such as dbo.view1. Additionally, when she right-clicks on and existing view, it shows the ability to create views, however, greyed out are the options to edit or design the view.
What other steps should I take to ensure she can create, edit, design and save new and existing views?

Hello together,
can anybody help me. I'm looking for an easy way to grant permissions to a user in all user databases. I already have a script which grants permission to all views and userdefined tables within one database, but since I have to run it in about 100 databases it's still quite timeconsuming.
Is there a way to execute that script in all user databases at once ???

Hello All,
I'm hoping someone can help me with this puzzle.
Most logins I've created have been SQL Server authenticated. I assign the login newEmployee to a role existingRole, and ensure the role has the required permissions. This didn't seem to be rocket science....
My company has been provided with an application with a SQL Server back-end. My instructions were to create a Windows authenticated login and give it full access to the database. I followed the above principles, but running the application, the user got the error -
SELECT permission denied on object 'sysobjects', database 'databasename', owner 'dbo'.
So I decided to try the simplest possible scenario to make it work:
I've created a login DOMAINewEmployee with Windows authentication.
DOMAINewEmployee has been granted access to databasename.
By default, DOMAINewEmployee is a member of Public.
Public has been granted all available permissions on all objects.
ie... grant all on userTables to public
........grant all on sysobjects to public
........grant all on otherSystemTables to public
etc.
Running the application, the user still gets the above error. I'd send the problem back to the vendor, except if I've logged onto the PC as DOMAINewEmployee, querying -
select * from dbo.sysobjects
via Query Analyser produces the same error message. (An equivalent error message is produced when querying a user-created table).
To compare, I then created a login newEmployee2 with SQL Server authentication.
newEmployee2 has been granted access to databasename.
select * from dbo.sysobjects
runs successfully from Query Analyser (as to any queries on user-created tables).
What else is required to grant access to tables from a Windows authenticated login?
( What really scares me, is that the application will run if I make the Windows authenticated login a member of server roles System Administrator and Database Creators, then the application will run - but I don't want this to be the permanent solution. Even after doing this, the above query still fails in Query Analyser for that login, suggesting that there is something wrong with how I configured the permissions. )
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Kim.

I've seriously looked, but this simple concept eludes me. How do I go about viewing all the permissions granted to a database user? Like whether or not they can execute a stored procedure.

I have granted a developer the alter view permissions on some views in our production server which now allow him to open the view for modification. When he tries to save his changes he gets an error that he doesn't have create view permission. If seen this behavior before when you modify a table, does SQL Server 7.0 actually drop and recreate the object? If so, would he then need create permissions on views also?

Is there a way to set it so that a user can view permissions in EM but not change them? I have tried using the SecurityAdmin role on the database, but this lets the user change the permissions. I really need to be able to do this, is there any way or can anyone make any other suggestions about this i.e., can you place the user in this role yet revoke the ability to commit a change?

do sqlagent service account proxies need more than just permissions on the app databases being read from and written to in the executing ssis package?
it looks like there are some prep steps when a pkg is going to be run. In my case, the pkg comes from msdb which has it's own security roles. So will my proxies need "datareader" permission on msdb...in addition to datareader and datawriter permissions on the other databases the pkg reads/writes from/to?
are there other permissions/roles normally important to proxies used in getting ssis pkgs to run? Where are they set?

Hello all,
I have an issue where the DBAs have informed my group that they need to get to a model where an SSIS package which presently needs Admin perms on a box in order to write to the Windows Application Log, no longer needs those perms to write to the log.
I am new to SSIS packages, though familiar with DTS packages (and ETL), so I'm wondering if their concerns (1) can be verified; and (2) if so, is there a better way to allow the package to write to the log without Admin perms (on the box). At the moment, the preference would be to do so without using .Net, in an effort to keep the implementation simple.
Scenario: A single package is scheduled to run at a predetermined time. Once complete it writes to the Windows Application Log.
Thanks in advance,
Henry

SQL7, sp3
What specific permissions do you need to be able to view information_schema views? I thought public role had permissions to select on these views, but this is not the case? What do I do?
my developers have db_reader, db_writer, and db_ddladmin. They do not have db_owner. If I make them Sysadmin in sql they can view them, but that doens't fit in our security setup we have. THoughts?
Thanks,

I have created a view where the data is a subset of the table. When a non dbo user selects only the first column from that view, the query returns the value. However, when the non dbo user selects any of the other columns or a combination of columns I get an invalid column name error. The syntax of my query is correct because it works when I use QA using a login with dbo permissions. Ideas?
Any help would be appreciated.
