Can anybody explain what database user with a prefix of "" in the public role indicates. I have the same two users in every database and cannot remove them?
Any help would be gratefully received.
Hi:
When I restore DB from testing to production, we want to remove extra access rights granted to public group. Is there a simple way to query to find out for which objects (table, view, sp, fn) that public group were granted select, delete, update insert, or execute rights?
My objective is to write a sp to remove all user assigned rights to public group (role), but not to deny any rights. How to do it?
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Sorry if this is a simple question, I've not seen any similar posts.
I'm just finished installed SQL 2005 on Vista Business edition (first time for both). I subsequently installed SP2 for 2005.
Upon completing the SP2 installation, the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration manager opened asking me to grant admin rights to the account I used to install the software. The account I used is the local admin account on the machine (only account on the machine as this is my dev box) .
Nothing shows in the two boxes below on this dialog, "Available Privelages" is blank and "Privelages granted is blank".
In addition, if I go to SQL Server Configuration Manager, and click on SQL Server 2005 Services, nothing shows in the right pain. It's as if the software installed, and yet no instance of the database exists or is running.
My thought was that the admin account I used to install the software doesn't have sufficient privelages to to start the SQL Server or SQLBrowser. So I went to computer management, Local Users and groups (machine isn't on a network yet), and made sure this same account is part of the administrators group.
Any ideas on how I should solve this?
I am new at this and we encountered a problem. Can names in the public role be deleted? We have some names that need to go - however the delete option does not high light?
I would appreciate your help..
In a SQL 2k instance (latest SP) some of my user databases show the public role with execute on a variety of stored procs named dt_* (i.e. dt_addtosourcecontrol). However, not all the user databases do this, some do not grant the public role execute on these procs .
So, can someone explain what generates these permissions and is it acceptable to remove them? If I have a database that does not grant public access, should I be concerned? I don't see any reference to these procs in BOL.
TIA,
Moblex
Is it possible to script the Public role? Delete authorities granted to Public?
I need to copy all the permissions of the Public role from one database to many others. The databases were setup incorrectly with many authorities granted to Public.
In exploring permissions that users have, I find that they all have VIEW ANY DATABASE permission which they inherit from the public server role. You can see this by selecting the Permissions page on the Server Properties dialog and highlighting "public". The permission shows as having been granted by sa. This is listed as a server role. However, it does not show in the list of server roles and I can't find any documentation for it (RTM BOL). Interestingly, if I revoke this permission (which is the only permission this role has), the public server role disappears from view. But I can subsequently regrant the permission with Transact-SQL in master and the role comes back.
I would like more information about this role. It seems to be sort of "secret".
When I revoke the permission, users can't see any databases except master and tempdb (both of which have active guest users) even though they have been granted access to other databases.
What I was trying to accomplish by changing this permission was to allow a user to see only those databases which they are allowed to use. But that does not seem to be possible.
Thanks for the help.

Hello all,
I'm having trouble copying my production database to a development version because I have a login user in the public role that is not a valid user. I can't find any reference to the login/user anywhere in my database or in NT security, on my server for that matter.
When I open the public role through Enterprise Manager, I can see the logins/users in the list, but the 'Remove' button is disabled. I also tried to use the stored procedure 'sp_droprolemember', but it says that 'public' is not a role in the database.
DTS keeps blowing up on this object when exporting, and I need to get this stuff copied ASAP.
Thanks for all help

Can someone tell me what permissions has public role in sql server? can it read every table or it can just connect to a database and no more?
thanks
I gave a developer rights to the Public role on a SQL Server 2000 database. The Public role only has explicitly set select rights to the system tables and one user table. There are no other explicit rights set. The developer was able to open a table that had no rights set in enterprise manager and change data. Is this possible?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI use the following script in order to create db role:
USE [MyDB]GOCREATE ROLE [myRole] AUTHORIZATION [public]GO
It doesn't work:
Msg 15405, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot use the special principal 'public'.
However this code works fine:
USE [MyDB]GOCREATE ROLE [myRole] AUTHORIZATION [dbo]GOALTER AUTHORIZATION ON ROLE::[myRole] TO [public]GO
So the question is why?
Every night, there are some stored procedures that run to recreate tables so that the information in the table is updated. After the tables are droped and recreated I have to go in and check the select box under the permissions for the public role. If i don't do this users will not be able to select from theres tables.
What can I do so that users are able to select from these tables after they are created?
Would you be able to specify the select permissions for the public role in the script that creates the table or run a script that gives all those tables select permissions for the public role?
All help is appreciated.
We have an audit issue that is requiring me to revoke the select permissions from the public role to the system tables. Has anyone had to do this?? What problems did you experience? Are their any tables that you were not able to change the permissions on? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Does anybody have the transact SQL to find the permissions granted to the public role in a Database ?
Also looking for the SQL to find the permissions granted to the user Guest in a database ?
thanks
Hi all,
I have setup a new SQL 2000 SP4 and internal auditor query about revoke permission from Public role and remove guest from all databases.
1. Can I revoke all default permissions (select on system tables in all DBs) from "Public" role? I am concern any error after such action.
2. I found that guest account in DB -- master, tempdb and msdb. According to Microsoft documents. The account should not remove and can't from master and tempdb. How about msdb?
Thanks,

I need help,
I am having a hard time removing my SQL instance inside the Add/Remove program. After i select the SQL Instance name and then I tried to remove it but it won't allow me to delete it. There isn't any error message or whatsoever. Actually, when i try to log it in my SQL Management studio, that certain sql instance name is not existing according to the message box. Is there any way to remove the Sql Instance in my system?
I appreciate your help, Thanks

I need an example of how to grant access to a SQL user to a DB. For the life of me I can't seem to get my syntax correct. My database name is TEST and my username is LEMME_IN and I want to grant the user "Public" access to the db with db_datareader, db_datawriter database role membership.
Thanks
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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi everyone,
I try to add a db_role or a user to all my databases with one script. Although parsing doesn't report any problem I get a Syntax error during execution.
I first select the database names into a #temp table which has two columns, ID and dbname.
After that I use the following code:
DECLARE @Count smallint
declare @dbVarchar(20)
SET @Count = 1
WHILE (@Count <=(SELECT MAX(ID) FROM #temp))
BEGIN
Exec ("USE @db")
EXEC sp_adduser 'test'
EXEC sp_addrolemember 'my_role', 'testrole'
SET @COUNT = @COUNT + 1
SET @db = (SELECT dbname FROM #temp WHERE ID = @Count)
END
It seems that the "Use @db" part has no value for the variable @db.
Does anybody knows how to solve this?
I'm stuck. I'm a noob when it comes to SQL (learning as I go, reading books, etc). I've been trying to setup SQL on a Windows 2003 server, and there is a bit of an issue.
There is already an instance of SQL on the server. Someone before me tried to install SQL, and for some reason removed it. However, the default instance still exists on the machine, and I am unable to install SQL 2005 on it now. Setup keeps throwing back errors. There is nothing listed in the Add/Remove programs to remove the old Default Instance. Is there some way I can completely strip SQL off this machine so I can do a fresh install?
I googled a few articles about using the SQL tools to do a forced remove, but it did not work in this situation.
Hi Everybody,
The end users are using VB Applications, there they will be entering datas. Those datas will be stored in the SMS Database.
My Problem is through which Roles (Fixed Server Roles or Database Roles) I should attach these end users. If it is a Fixed Server Roles, Other than sysadmin role in which role I should attach this end user. Like that other than DB_Owner in which role I should attach these end users to the Database Roles.
Can anyone guide me please.
thanks,

Can anyone out there help me write a sp to determine if a user has a certain role?
I'm trying to use "sp_helpuser @UserName".
Can I declare a cursor with "EXEC sp_helpuser @UserName"? I'm not having success with this.
What about SELECT [GroupName] FROM EXEC sp_helpuser @UserName WHERE [GroupName] = @GroupName? Again, syntax error.
Is there already a better way that someone knows of?
I have a user with DBCREATOR Server role only. That user is able to create database but create table permission denied.
how would I set permission on this user, so that this user can create databases and automatically becomes the DBOWNER of that database and can do any action on that database.
Thanks,
NOTE: I am talking about roles in my sql server - NOT in asp.net. I need to create a stored procedure that retrieves the roles that the currently logged in sql user has for a different database. I have the code that gets the roles for the user, but it only works if the user is in the database. I want to be in one database, and get the roles for a different database. I have tried using USE DATABASE, but this is not allowed in a store procedure.

Hi All,
I'm rather new to the MS SQL Server development in general and especially to its data security architecture and features - I'd like to know if it is possible for end-user to retrieve/update(!?) the data using a SP which executes on a table for which she/he doesn't have any privileges.

Hi,
I need to read and subsequently modify the privileges (rights) of a certain SQL Server user / role from within a Visual Basic Program.
Modifying seems to be easy using standard statements like GRANT/REVOKE. But what about reading all the rights a user has ?
I have researched SQL-DMO, but didn't find what I'm looking for.
Any idea ?
