SQL Security :: Sysadmin Role Not Taking Effect For Windows User?
Aug 11, 2015
My company has a Windows 2008 R2 server which is running SQL Server v11.0.5058. This server was previously running SQL Server 2008 and was recently upgraded. Since the upgrade I have noticed that when I connect to this server using SSMS and Windows authentication it seems as though I have a limited user context as I cannot see SQL Agent in the server tree at all and underneath the server security > logins folder I can only see the sa and SQL Server Windows service accounts (there are many more).
If I connect to the server using SSMS and the sa credential then I can see everything I expect to be able to see as a sysadmin.
I tried connecting as sa, then deleting my Windows AD account from the security > logins folder and reading my Windows AD account with the sysadmin role however this yielded the same result, when I connect using Windows authentication I still appear to be in a limited user context.
We have several other SQL 2008 / 2012 servers within our organization and all of them appear to be working fine / none of them exhibit this problem.

Hi all,
Our SQL2000 server now allows all member of the Windows 2000 local administrators group log in with SysAdmin role.
I only want couple of people with sysadmin role. What should I do
to prevent that. I was told once that I should delete the
BUILTINAdministrator ID and manually add each window login ID
to SQL server. Am I on the right track?
Thank you for your help.

An old website I inherited uses sa to connect to SQL SessionState and had the details in the web.config. This is bad for security.The session state database is of -sstype "t" which is defined as:Temporary. Session state data is stored in the SQL Server tempdb database. Stored procedures for managing session state are installed in the SQL Server ASPState database. Data is not persisted if you restart SQL. This is the default.What kind of WIndows user, SQL Login, role and permissions do I need to create to make Session State secure? (Windows Server 2012 and SQL Server 2012 mixed mode authentication, Webfarm).

Hi All,
Is it possible to give a user a sysadmin role and then deny some of the privileges?
I am a junior dba, I should be able to view only everything that the sysadmin can see, i.e. db properties, logins, packages, jobs etc.

We set up a SQL Server 2005 box. When we set it up we did it with windows authentication, so the sa account is disabled. After everything was set up we were going to do some locking down. We added a domain account and gave it sysadmin rights. Next we went in to the sysadmin role and deleted the builtin/administrators group. This deleted all users except for the sa account. The sa account is disabled and we don't have a password for it. Not sure what to do next. Is there anyway to salvage this without have to completely reinstall? I can't enable sa because it says I don't have the rights, I can't add anyone to the sysadmin role because I don't have the rights. Why did it delete my domain account in the first place?

Alright, this should be a simple question, but I don't know the answer.
I created a group in our Active Directory, and added myself and another member of my team to the group. I then went into SQL 2005 management studio and added the group as a new login, and gave the group the sysadmin role.
The idea is for us to be able to connect with Windows Security to do administrative tasks on the server versus logging in with SA.
The problem, is that we cannot connect. It does not allow us to login. Do I have to do mappings for each database too?

Listed below are some basic info about my application.
.net 2.0 web application
SQL 2000 database
Single sign-on. Windows Authentication with impersonate set to true in web.config:
<authentication mode="Windows"/>
<identity impersonate="true"/>
Connection String in web.config: <add name="conn" connectionString="Data Source=MyRemoteSeverName;Initial Catalog=MyDBName;Integrated Security=SSPI; " providerName="System.Data.SqlClient;"/>
The problem I'm having now is that any users that are not in the sysadmin server role can't read any table. Say if I have 2 users:
Domain1User1 ( in db_datareader and db_datawriter Database Role, no sever role assigned)
Domain1User2 ( in db_datareader and db_datawriter Database Role, sysadmin Server Role)
Here is what's expected to happen if everything goes well.
A list of customers ( first name, last name, age, etc) in a gridview should show up after login.
After both users logged in, Domain1User1 received an exception message of "Object reference not set to an instance of an object".
Domain1User2, however, was able to see the list.
I checked SQL Server Logs, and found 2 items:
Login succeeded for user 'Domain1User1' ... Connection TRUSTED
Login succeeded for user 'Domain1User2' ... Connection TRUSTED.
Based on the log file, it appears that both users had good connections to the database. Then why is it that User1, which is not in sysadmin Server Role, was not allowed to make a query?
Now if I assign sysadmin Server Role to Domain1User1 as well, the User1 will be able to see the list without seeing the exception.
Can someone shed some light for me please ?

Hi there. I work in a support department and on great occasion (such as this morning), I am RASd in to a client and try running a SQL trace, only to receive an error when setting it up, 'In order to run a trace against SQL Server you have to be amember of sysadmin fixed server role.'
Today, I even called their DBA and asked him if he could set our userid up with the proper permissions to all us to run traces (I'm debugging a RTE). He stated that he was unfamiliar with the error and didn't know where to assign us to resolve this problem.
Does anyone know how to resolve this?
Many thx.

Question to those who may have had this same error- it seems that I am not able to delete some of the reports that I have created. This just started happening recently and according to our system admin nothing has changed as far as permissions are concernced. We installed SP2 the other day and I was wondering if this could have anything to do with the error message below
by the way I am a member of the sysadmin group
thanks in advance

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to connect SQL database through code but I get this error,I have spent days to solve it but unfortunately I couldn't...Here is my code in VB express(OP:windows 2000 with SP4)I am new to VB,so it makes the situation more difficult for me.
my code is:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim conn1 As SqlConnection = _
New SqlConnection("Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;" & _
"Integrated Security=SSPI;" & _
"database=deneme3_database;")
'Open connection
conn1.Open()
MessageBox.Show("Connection succeeded.")
'Close connection
conn1.Close()
MessageBox.Show("Connection closed.")
End Sub
The error message is,it is in german but it is clear I guess:)
" Die von der Anmeldung angeforderte "deneme3_database"-Datenbank kann nicht geöffnet werden. Fehler bei der Anmeldung.
Fehler bei der Anmeldung für den Benutzer 'ADPLANatalay'. "
Thank you in advance!

Edition: SQL Server 2005 Standard
I am trying to take a snapshot of a database for use in a publication. The account under which the snapshot agent is running is set to have the db_owner role for the database and have write access to the snapshot share.
I can not get the snapshot to run unless the account under which the snapshot agent is running is granted the sysadmin fixed server role. Because of the security implications of this, I don't want to grant these permissions.
As far as I am concerned, the minimum requirements for the snapshot account have been met and I have tried every other alternate that I can think of. I've checked MSDN and the newsgroups but I still have not solved the problem.
The error that I get when I run the snapshot.exe from the command line is:
The remote server "TURING" does not exist, or has not been designated as a valid Publisher, or you may not have permission to see available Publishers.
This error message has now inexplicably changed to:
You do not have sufficient permissions to run the command...
Any ideas? Thanks.

When I create logins for SQL Server 2012, something strange happens. When I assign the sysadmin role to a login, the login loses the access to the network drives (for example when creating or attaching databases). The only possible place is the c:drive of the computer that is running SQL Server.

I need to determine the following about the current authenticated Windows domain user who is trying to access a SQL Server via a trusted connection.
1 Has the current user been granted login access to the trusted SQL Server?
2 Has the current user been granted access to a specific database?
3 Is the current user a member of a specific database role such as (DB_ROLE_ADMINISTRATORS)?
Thanks,
Sean

Deleting a Login from a server instance and adding it back did not show that the login was still mapped to databases. In SQL Server 2008, adding a Windows Login did not permit access to end user databases until the Windows Login was mapped to various databases. In SQL Server 2012, once a Windows Login is added to SQL Server Security, it may access ANY end user databaseWe use the following to circumvent this problem, Windows Login by Windows Login: DENY VIEW ANY DATABASE TO [TESTTest1]

Hi,
I am trying to use a very easy and simple feature of a reportmodel, model item security.
In my example i have two users; HGHJohn and HGHJKooi
I want to test if I am able to restrict access in the model to a whole entity. HGHJKooi shouldn't be able to see the entity 'Customers'.
These are the steps I executed:
1. In Sqlserver management studio I opened the properties of my model and navigated to the tabpage 'model item security'.
2. I activated the option 'secure individual model items...'
3. In the root of the model I declared two users(groups) as specified above
4. Automatically all nodes inherit these settings from the root.
5. For the entity 'Relations' I change the default, by selecting 'use these roles for each group or user account'
6. I removed HGHJKooi from this list, leaving only 'HGHJohn as model item browser
What I expected at this moment is that when I login the system as HGHJKooi, then I won't see this entity, but I still can! Does anybody know a solution to this problem?

Platform: Win2000 SP3, SQL 7.00 - 7.00.1063I have a SQL-authenticated user with the following permissions:"Process Administrators" server role"db_owner" and "TargetServersRole" for msdb database"db_owner" for master database.The problem is that when this user opens up any job (i.e. owned by anyuser) in the SQL Server Agent, and goes to the Notifications tab, thefirst three alerts (Email, Page and Net send) are greyed out, i.e.these cannot be set.The other options are available (Write to Windows application eventlog, Automatically delete job).The only way I can achieve this is to give this user the "SystemAdministrators" server role, i.e. sa.But this of course gives absolutely full access, which I don't want.Is there a way for a user to see/change Notifications of jobs whichonly he owns?

We have been working on an application that will be using a forms-authenticated report server (RS2005) as a reporting back-end. Using the reporting services web service I have been able to assign permissions to objects in reporting services no problem. The issue is that each user needs to be added to the System User role to be able to use the report builder properly. I can't seem to find a way to do this programmatically. Any idea?

We have an application use Approle to read from database. If the client login to windows as administrator or a name that has the administrator rights, the application can get all data. If the client login to windows as a domain user that has limited rights, the application can't get all data.
I run profiler and found that it seems, when application use approle to access a database, the login name is the domain user that log into windows. Is there anybody know what type of right the window login name should have in order to get all data from a database?
Second question, when I log in to window as domainusername( username is not administrator, but has administrator rights). In the profiler, I can see the application use this domainusername access database. However, under sql server login node, I didn't find domainusername. Is this because, the domainusername belongs to buildinadministrator?
