I'm trying to harden our SQL Server environment to improve overall security of our systems. I would like to check what specific permissions are granted to SQL Server, SQL Server Agent and SQL Server Integration Services account. I've tried with the "sc qprivs <service_name> " command, but it returns an empty privilege list. Is there a way to retrieve the permissions using a cmd or powershell command?
View 2 RepliesI have 4 new SQL Server 2005 installations on Windows 2003 that I configured at our main office and shipped to a hosting center. All four servers are members of our domain. I set up test datbases with replication on one of the servers and facilitated this with a domain account.
Now that I've moved the servers to the hosting center (which has a DC) and I'm not having any luck adding domain accounts to the permissions section on any of the the SQL Server boxes.
When I try to add a domain account in the SQL Server's permissions window I get "Name Not Found". By every indication the server is connected to the domain. I can log on using my domain account; I can create shares specifying domain accounts but I can't seem to add domain accounts to the SQL server permissions. When I look in the permission's tab I still see the original domain account, I had added back in the main office, stranded by itself in the list of users. We're using mixed authentication by the way.
Why doesn't SQL Server recognize the domain? Where does it get it's list of users? Does the account I'm logging in with just not have the permission to add domain accounts? These diaglogs are slightly different from the normal 'add a user' dialog boxes.
I feel like this must be a simple oversight. Any help would be appreciated. I'd prefer to move away from local accounts to keep things simple.
In SQL 2005, is this an acceptable (prefered) way to give an application account EXEC permissions for sprocs and funcs in a specific database?
CREATE ROLE db_executor
GRANT EXECUTE TO db_executor
And then of course assign my user to this role on the database level.
I am trying to get away from adding exec to every sproc "manually" and then of course also having to add exec for any new sprocs that get added into the database.
We are about to change the sa password, currently all packages and jobs rely on this account. I imagine there is probably a better architecture that we could employ to ease this process. Any suggestions recommendations?
Also any caveats I should be aware of regarding places to look that might currently rely on the sa account so that we do not need to worry about existing processes from breaking?
I think we are going to create an NT account for DTS Packages and possibly use the same account for any DTSRun jobs, does this make sense? Or is there anything to gain by having these as separate accounts? Also should this be the same account used to run the MSSQLServer process?
I tried doing a search for this information here, thinking it was already covered, but could not find anything that informative, any resources that you could point me to would be appreciated, I will look on BOL as well as MSFT to see what I can dig up.
I have jsut started using SQL server 7 and am having problems with accounts permissions, users,roles, groups, owners etc what are the differences?

I am attempting to use Visual Web Developer Express with a connection to a SQL Express db from a non-admin account on my XP Pro SP2 machine.
I can do everything in the app under an admin login, but can't seem to configure the db to allow the non-admin account access to the db. I've tried tweaking WMI, using Network Service, Local Service, and Local System with NT AUTHORITY, individual logins, and group permissions, but I'm stuck.
Any thoughts?
Do we still need the below service accounts in SQL 2008+ version even if we have proper SQL service accounts added in the logins?
[NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM]
[NT ServiceMSSQLSERVER]
[NT SERVICEReportServer]
[NT SERVICESQLSERVERAGENT]

We tried dropping this account and re-creating the windows account with same permissions but still result is same.It throws same error message. Login failure message !!!
I am working with a SQLServer installation where all public permissionshave been revoked from the system.I currently hold the securityadmin and sysadmin roles to perform mylogicall access control work (creating logins and adding users todatabases and changing group memberships.)There has been a question as to whether or not I need the sysadmin roleto do my job, so we tried an experiment in dropping the sysadmin rolefrom my id.With no public permissions, I see no user information on the server,which really limits my ability to do the job.Has anyone ever worked with a super-locked-down server without thesysadmin role for doing security admin work?What I'm looking for is hopefully SQL to perform the access privilegesneeded for the security admin role by itself.Thanks in advance!

i want to check.. Report Server Windows service has Send As permissions on the SMTP server.
how can i do this..
Last night at home on my 64 bit Vista machine, I encountered the same error 29506 that said that the management studio express could not be installed. I looked up the error message and below is what I received. I also installed the 64 bit .net framework which installed just fine before trying to install the SSSME.
I followed the instructions below but this did not seem to make a difference. However, I did not reboot after applying new permissions. I have installed this software a few times now on 32 bit machines for both XP and RC1 Vista, and have not had a problem. Last night, I did use the 64 bit version. Also, there is no data file yet because after the install it rolls back, so I gave myself Full permissions on the SQL server directory which should include all sub directories, right? Thanks, Teri
Error 29506.
SQL Server Setup failed to modify security permissions on file Drive:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.xMSSQLData for user SYSTEM. To proceed, verify that the account and domain running SQL Server Setup exist, that the account running SQL Server Setup has administrator privileges, and that exists on the destination drive.
Note A SQL Server service pack refers to SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and later service packs.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because one or more data files exist that do not have the required permissions. By default, the Full Control permission of the Administrators group is granted to the data file when you create a database. If the permission of this group is removed from the data file, the SQL Server 2005 service pack setup will fail.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, grant the Full Control permission to the Administrators group on all data files and on the Data folder. To grant the Full Control permission to the data files, follow these steps:
1.
Locate the folder that contains the data files. By default, these files are located in the following folder:
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData
2.
Right-click the data file that has no required permissions for the Administrators group, and then click Properties.
3.
If the Administrators group is not in the Group or user names list, click Add, type Administrators, and then click OK.
4.
Click Administrators in the Group or user names list, and then click to select the Allow check box for the Full Control item in the Permissions for Administrators list.Note If the files in the Data folder have an orphan owner, you have to take ownership of the files and then grant the Full Control permission to the files. We recommend that you do not change the default permissions for the data files.
Received the following error while installing SP2
MSI (s) (D8!A0) [21:07:09:062]: Product: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 -- Error 29506. SQL Server Setup failed to modify security permissions on file C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData for user Administrator. To proceed, verify that the account and domain running SQL Server Setup exist, that the account running SQL Server Setup has administrator privileges, and that exists on the destination drive.
Tried running install with a domain account and local account with same results.
Based on the error message, I checked permission on the drive and still received the same error.
Followed resolution based on KB 916766, this did not resolve the error.
Only possible resolution I found was to disable UAP, reboot and retry the install. This will be done as a last resort, but any other suggestion will be appreciated.
Many Thanks
I have a root domain and child domain.
After using ADMT to migrate the domain user or group into the root domain, when I use enterprise manager to try and change the permissions allocated to that domain user/group, i get the 'Error 15401 NT user or Group not found'.
This is a correct error as the user is now in the root domain, however sql (in sysxlogins) still thinks its in the child domain.
Is there a simpler way, other than collecting the users permissions, deleting the user from SQL then adding back in with the correct domainusername format, then adding the permissions back?
I tried renaming the 'name' in sysxlogins (not recommended) and while that worked, whenever I tried to add the migrated user to another database, the login name was missing and would not resolve.
I believe it is something to do with the SID not matching.
Any ideas on how to fix this ?
I cannot get a consistent answer as to how many domain accounts would be suggested in a SQL Server 2014 installation. Previously the recommendation was a separate account for each service to provide isolation and minimum permissions for each account. It seems from what I've read that a single domain account would have something added to make it unique from SQL Server's perspective. Several still advocate multiple accounts. I don't know if they are doing so because that's the way it's always been done or if there is still some compelling reason to do so. I don't want to create unnecessary accounts simply because something is "ideal."
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am currently hardening our SQL 2012 (with AlwaysOn Availability Groups) environment. Both the SQL service and agent account are using service accounts (only domain user). SQL browser service is disabled. Permissions to all roles are handled by using domain groups.
Currently a lot of (default) NT Service accounts are listed (some with sysadmin privileges). Are there accounts that can be removed?
I am trying to revert back to Windows 7 after upgrading to Windows 10, however it will not let me and the following message occurs: "Remove new accounts.Before you can go back to a previous version of Windows, you'll need to remove any user accounts you added after the most recent upgrade. The accounts need to be completely removed, including their profiles.You created one account (NT SERVICEMSSQLSERVER) Go to Settings> Accounts> Other users to remove these accounts and then try again".However I did not create any new users and there are no other users listed in the Accounts section.

I have a SQL Server 2005 Express database, and I'm trying to add a new user to it... however I thought I'd given it the correct permissions, but it's saying it hasn't got SELECT permissions on all of the tables. How do I grant a user the neccessary permissions on a database to just do standard select, updates, deletes and inserts and nothing else?

I have a database with two views in it.
As it is right now i have two sql logins one for readers and one for modifiers. I need to open the database up to windows auth.
I want users to only be able to see views and not the tables. I also want users to be able to modify the table if they are in one view but not in the other views. How would i do this? I have limited experience with permissions like this.
I have a very large table that is refreshed periodically. Since it'sso big, I do a 'drop table', 'create table', 'create index' then a bulkload. It's much faster than doing a 'delete from'. I also do a'shrinkdb' as part of this process.The problem, however, is that the user permissions are also dropped inthis process. So, how can I script the user permissions? For example,how do I give 'MyUser' select access to 'MyTable' in 'MyDB'? Manythanks!!Eben YongJoin Bytes!
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but I believe it's the closest to my question (if not, please let me know).
I am wondering if it's possible to perform an INSERT to another table in another database from within a trigger. For example:
CREATE TRIGGER inserted_mytable ON mytable
FOR INSERT
AS
DECLARE @rc INT
SELECT @rc = @@ROWCOUNT
IF @rc = 0 RETURN
INSERT INTO [OtherDB].[dbo].mytable2
SELECT *
FROM inserted
Both mytable and mytable2 have the exact same structure. What appears to be happening is that the INSERT statement locks up the mytable database. Is there a permissions problem here, or is this just not possible?
Thanks,

How might I Restrict ASP.NET app DB permissions using Integrated Security?
I can see how it's done with SQL Authentication, but I'd prefer to do it with Windows Authentication.
Is it a matter of restricting the permissions of the general ASP.NET user (€œNT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE€?)...seems like it might affect too much.
Or can I have a Windows user/identity/account that is specific to a single ASP.NET Application?
Any guidance on this would be appreciated.
Thanks!
I need to provide a User with below permissions:
1. Ability to read and write records in tables in both the X schema and Y schema
2. Ability to read metadata about objects in the X and Y schema
3. Ability to execute stored procedures in the X and Y schema
4. Ability to create and update the necessary schema objects used by X, including but not limited to tables, views, and indexes
5. CREATE FUNCTION permission
6. ALTER and EXECUTE permissions on the X schema
7. VIEW DEFINITION permission on the X and Y schemas to enable view export.Â
For the point 1, I will assign db_datareader,db_datawriter database roles to the user
For the point 2, when I have searched web, I found out ReadDefinition permission should be granted. I could find only viewDefinition but not ReadDefinition.
For the point 3, 'USE DataBaseName GRANT EXECUTE TO User; Go' - does this sql suffice?
For the point 4, I am not sure what should be done.
For the point 5, 'USE DataBaseName GRANT CREATE FUNCTION TO User; Go' - I guess this will work
For the point 6, Can I use same SQL as point 3 including ALTER ?
For the point 7, 'USE DataBaseName GRANT VIEW DEFINITION TO User; Go'
We have a user who is set to following permission on a DB,
server role: public
db permission: db_datareader
But when user tries to use following query on xml column he getting error as below,
SELECT ticket_id FROM dbo.Form WITH(NOLOCK)
WHERE LEN(form_document.value('(/Form_Fields/Form_Field[@field_type_desc="Number"]/@field_value)[1]','varchar(100)')) > 0
Error:
The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'testDB_Form_Schema', database 'testDB', schema 'dbo'.Do i have provide any additional permissions to query xml content ?
I am now developing a stored procedure in SQL server 2005 that can retrieve the serial no. of the harddisk(C:) in the server machine.
I have created a DLL call HDinfo that can be used by other application. Then I added to SQL Server 2005 by using
CREATE ASSEMBLY HDinfo
FROM 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBinnHDinfo.dll'
WITH PERMISSION_SET = UNSAFE
After I have added to the SQL server, I can call it in the C# CLR Project and use the method inside. However, when I executed the stored procedure in SQL server by
exec dbo.PrintToday
[PrintToday is a method that return the serial number of the harddisk]
it shows some error message,

I have prepared several DTS packages which must be launched by a custom external application. What is the best way to provide access to this application? What are the minimum security requirements? Currently, they are local packages; I understand that some utility is offered by saving them as .DTS files, but I don't know the pros & cons. Are there advantages to using the Repository? The app should be able to do its work from a different box on the same network as the server. (Ultra-super-secret security isn't an issue, but I don't want to have give our developers sa-level access unless necessary.)
View 2 Replies View RelatedAs a CRM person, I sometimes have to update the database to cope with custom reports that I have written. Usually, I will
Go into SQL Server Management Studio 2008Open the database
Locate either the table or the view
Right click on permissions.
Add in the role or user that's needed
Grant them Select permissions
This allows the report in CRM to access the database and this works.
The problem I have is that after a certain amount of time, the user or role will disappear from the permissions meaning that the report will not run. Sometimes, this can be as soon as a couple of days or it can be months. It happens on views more than tables and, whilst it's not too difficult to put the permissions back, it is annoying for the users.
I don't use SQL Server Management Studio very regularly, only to write a few queries and set up these permissions so I'm not sure if there's anything else in there that might be doing this.
I'm trying to get specific permissions per user on each SQL database, would you let me know if it could be achieved e.g on an object level?
