SQL Security :: Restrict A User Only To Particular Schema
Sep 23, 2015
I have created a user Finance and I want to grant him access only to see views which are created under Schema called "FinanceQuery".
Note: View may use tables from multiple schemas example: dbo. Staging. ectÂ
By doing this, I want to achieve that this user Finance can see only Views created under Schema FinanceQuery and should not see any other objects (tables, Stored Procedures, Functions etc.)
We can restrict users from accessing the databases from the security. But is there anyway , we can restrict users from seeing the available databases on the server, user can access and see the database he or she has access to other databases will not be visible?
In some our dotabases I can see Schemas created with the same name as Domain User name (domainusername). Schema owner for those schemas is not dbo but the same user as in schema name. How this happens? Is any way to prevent or prohibit this?
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'
Can anyone help me with this? The objective is to allow an application user (with db_datareader & db_datawriter database roles assigned) to be able to create tables in the assigned schema (dbo) via a new role.
-- Create User
use master
go
create login DBA with password='xx', CHECK_EXPIRATION=ON, CHECK_POLICY=ON
use AdventureWorks
go
create user dba from login DBA alter user dba with DEFAULT_SCHEMA=dbo
go
-- Create Role
use AdventureWorks
go
create role sp_ddl_role AUTHORIZATION dbo
grant CREATE TABLE to sp_ddl_role
-- assign user to Role
use AdventureWorks
go
exec sp_addrolemember sp_ddl_role, dba
go
-- Create Table statement then run with following error Error:
Msg 2760, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The specified schema name "dbo" either does not exist or you do not have permission to use it.
Remedy: Grant ALTER on schema::dbo to sp_ddl_role
My problem is that I want to restrict user permissions via this role to just the CREATE TABLE and granting ALTER on a SCHEMA will open up a whole lot more permissions from a security standpoint.
Question: How do I restirct this role to just the CREATE TABLE within a SCHEMA?
Locally I develop in SQL server 2005 enterprise. Recently I recreated my db on the server of my hosting company (in sql server 2005 express).I basically recreated the tables and copied the data in it.I now receive the following error when I hit the DB:The 'System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider' requires a database schema compatible with schema version '1'. However, the current database schema is not compatible with this version. You may need to either install a compatible schema with aspnet_regsql.exe (available in the framework installation directory), or upgrade the provider to a newer version.I heard something about running aspnet_regsql.exe, but I dont have that access to the DB. Also I dont know if this command does anything more than creating the membership tables and filling it with some default data...Any other solutions/thought on what this can be?Thanks!
We have a situation where we need to restrict access to a sql server data file. That is, to prevent users viewing any tables, stored procedures, etc, in sql server or another tool. We are providing a our database as part of an application install to a customer's site which will run isolated on the customers network. However the application will have sql server logins and the system must still be able to execute stored procedures.
The setup unfortunately cannot be changed and we are trying to think of best implementations for this. Our customers are also working with competitors so we are very conscious about exposing our data structures to anyone outside of our company, hence trying to restrict access. If deployed to a sql instance on the customer site then they will have database administrator accounts on the server.
I have added several Active Directory groups and set the system roles for each to "System User" and set one of the groups (DBAdmin) to "System Adminstrator"
My issue is that even after doing this, the users in the other groups are able to access the "Configure site-wide security" link under Security and change the permissions. The only system permission these users have is "View shared schedules" so it doesn't seem that this should be possible.
I would appreciate any feedback on this issue. Thanks!
I have an ETL product, every 30 minutes it loads maybe a coupla 100K records of various construction into an SQL Server Db (2000 SP3, on Win 2000 Std Server also Win 2003 Ent Server). It really hammers the Db with a combination of batch insert update and insert fallback to update etc. It does not use 100% CPU actually and is IO bound. Works a treat.
Now the problem, someone has built a .Net ADO based front end, and for the 5 minutes my product runs every 30 minutes they have a hope in hell of getting a reasonable response for their select queries. Now my take is that maybe I can delay for 5ms after each transaction I do to allow the other user processes a chance. But better maybe would be for my ETL product Db user to have a lower priority than other Db users.
What is the best way to achieve this end? If I understood more about how SQL Server prioritizes users and their requests it might help. (round robin?)

Is there a switch in 7.0 that I can set if I don't want users to see a certain column in a table.
Ex: TableA(column1, column2, column3) If they do a select * from tableA they will receive information on all three columns, I don't want them to see the last column3.
I have an MSSQL server where I would like to create a couple of databases, create one user pr. DB, and give them db_owner permissions.
Giving a user db_owner permissions allows the user to make a backup of the database, which is a good thing and I would like it to stay that way.
My problem is that I don't know how to restrict the user from saving the backup to any directory or filename that he wants to. He can not get out of the directories that the user MSSQL is running under has access to. But he can overwrite another users backupfile or placing the file in the MSSQL-programfolder.
The users is using SQL Server authentication.
Can I restrict the backup procedure to save to only one file or in one directory?
What is the best practice regarding backup if you give your users db_owner permissions?
I have few SQL user who has permissions on different databases. When they are accessing MSSQL server from Enterprise Manager they can see all Databases but can not access them and they can change file size allocated to them. I want to restrict this and they can only see database belongs to respective user and restrict user to change allocated size. Please help me with this as I am not able to find the solution.
I am using a SSAS cube as my data source for my reports. I have set up the roles on the cube and that works fine.
However, in my reports I want to be able to restrict the report filters based on the user that logs in.
E.G. we have a list of users from different countries. if a user from the US logs in then the country filter should have only USA in it. If a Japan user logs in then the country list should have only Japan.
Currently, the country filter still has all the countries but the logged in user can only get data for his country. I want that list to only be populated with user country only.
I think it has something to do with the dataset that is populating the country list but I have no idea as to how to fix it.
I want to protect a field in a table...i want to restrict users to update the value in that field...by manually logging into that database...it can be updated only through the application...if any body manually update the field value....it has to be captured in log with old value....is it possible to do this sql server...if any of u says yes 'its possible' then :beer: other wise :eek:
I am designing wepage using Asp.net with Sql server as database. I have used Multiline textbox in which user has to enter their family detail. Like number of brother and sister family status, source of Earning for family.
But User do not have to enter his/her phone/contact number. For that I restricted the user to enter any nuberic digit through asp.net Regex. But User is too smart now they are entering his/her contact number in words.
Suppose somebody's Contact number is 533445928 as they can not enter numberic digit because of asp.net regex which allows the user to enter only alphabets. Now they are entering their contact number in words like five three three four four nine two eight seven. I would like to restrict the user to enter contact detail in words also.
I have two databases DB1 and DB2 DB1 has a source table named 'Source' I have created a login 'Test_user' in DB2 with Public access. I have also created a view named 'Test_view' in DB2 which references data from DB1.dbo.Source

If I understand how the schema security works, then if I grant a group CONTROL on the Sandbox schema and then give them CREATE TABLE on the database permissions. Then they will only have the ability to create tables under the Sandbox Schema.
So, the problem I am having is if I grant the group CONTROL on the schema and DELETE on the database, it changes the permission on all the schemas. The only way I see to fix this, is you have to go in and manually DENY DELETE on each the schemas that you don't want them to be able to perform deletes on.
Is this the inly way to do this? Or is there another way that I just haven't figured out?
Having a great deal of difficulty finding a good description or exposition on the use of SCHEMAS as it pertains to security principals. I've been working with DBs such as AD and Exchange for several years, and am familiar with the concept and use of SCHEMAS in these contexts.
Specifically ... what and why the necessity to map a (user?) schema to a login/user in SS2k5? Someone please provide a clear (simple ... not too techno-nerd) answer or provide a link to an article/faq/blog/thread where this concept is clearly and FULLY explained.
I'm currently investigating the security improvements of SQL Server 2005. I've got some problems with the schemas introduced in SQL 2005 and security settings.
For my test I've created two schemas: UserManagement and Sales. A user "test" is attached to the UserManagement schema. There's a table Sales.Users containing a list of users (varchar) and a stored procedure named UserManagement.AddUser that can be executed by the UserManagement schema (GRANT EXECUTE, so "test" can execute the SP). UserManagement.AddUser simply inserts a new row into Sales.Users.
Because the Sales schema doesn't contain any user, nobody (except the sysadmin, of course) can do a INSERT/SELECT/DELETE in the Sales.Users table. As expected, the following SQL statement fails:
EXECUTE AS LOGIN='machine est'; INSERT INTO Sales.Users VALUES('Test User');
INSERT was not allowed: object 'Users', database 'test', schema 'Sales'. The second way of inserting rows into Sales.Users is to execute the stored proc UserManagement.AddUser: CREATE PROCEDURE [UserManagement].[AddUser] WITH EXECUTE AS CALLER AS INSERT INTO Sales.Users VALUES('Test User'); The user "test" can execute this sproc without problems: EXECUTE AS LOGIN='machine est'; EXECUTE UserManagement.AddUser;
(1 row(s) affected)To my astonishment the INSERT statement inside the stored proc does execute - although UserManagement.AddUser and Sales.Users are two different schemas. Why is that, is there a chaining happening? To my understanding SQL Server should test INSERT rights on Sales.Users for the UserManagement schema and deny the INSERT statement because UserManagement isn't allowed to INSERT in the Sales schema.
Any ideas? Help regarding the issue is greatly appreciated.
So on my local server I have a username CWI. I have my main DB: CW.
CWI is the owner of 5 schemas on CW, and everything works great. --- I now go and create a new DataBase called CWTest. I want to now add the user CWI to the security section of CWTest (The same way I did it in 2000). However, now I get the error message: "The login already has an account under a different user name."
When I created my DataBase, IT had the default user, but now I want to add another user so I can create my schemas. --- On our live servers, we will have 100-300 Databases all using the same useraccount as the "God Mode" user.
My developers would like a 'sandbox' database with full ddl and dml permissions, however, they do not want others to read/change/drop their objects. With SQL 2005, can DDL permissions be granted to a user at the schema level? I'd rather not set up a database for each developer.
One of our databases has at some point in its dark past had the owner of the guest schema changed to be a named user, rather than the default guest user. Correcting this feels like it would be easy enough by running the following...
  ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON SCHEMA::guest TO guest but that results in..   Msg 15150, Level 16, State 2, Line 3   Cannot alter the schema 'guest'.
I realise the guest schema is a special one, and cannot be dropped, but I'm not trying to do that. End goal is to export the database to a SQL Azure DB, and this guest schema assignment is blocking that process from completing.
How do you handle user level security with SQL Server 2005?
Say I have an HR database.
In Active Directory I have two groups: Managers, Employees.
Now in this HR Database I want to setup permissions in such a way that Managers can see all employees under them (but not other managers) and the employees can only see themselves.
(I'd have various levels of management defined in a table somewhere, so that each employee has a manager ID that links to another employee so that the CEO would be manager of everyone by working down the chain).
What I'm trying to understand is the best way to handle the permissions.
I'm not entirely clear on how to deal with that.
Would I use user chaining to do that, I wouldn't need impersonation (that's just for instances where you want dynamic SQL and it won't execute with user chaining, correct?)
Anyway, just looking for some general direction on this (obviously I need to get a good book it would seem).
Would I create a stored procedure that runs with EXECUTE AS permissions so that I'd have a non-interactive login it uses that has table access then all the other users have permission to execute the sproc?
So that sproc runs, pulls back a SELECT * FROM tbl_HRINFO and using a WHERE constraint limits who is returned WHERE SupervisorID = CurrentLoggedInEmployeeID ?
Also: How can I determine who is logged in and running the procedure, would the sproc use the SELECT USER_NAME command to see who was running it?
As you can see, I'm working from square one on all of this. Not sure if my posting entirely made sense, but hopefully someone can get me pointed in the right direction, thanks!
My question is: What is the difference b/w schema, owner and user in SQL Server 2005. The reason for asking is that when I login as a user say 'user1' and create objects under it.. they should show up in its own schema - right. Because this is how Oracle works. Now we are not seeing this behaviour in SQL Server2005. Instead, we see the object created with <dbo>.<object_name>.
Is it possible to set up the permissions to not allow a specific user to create schemas, but to allow that user to create tables and procedures and functions in one schema, and to create procedures and functions but not tables, in a different schema within the same database?
