Determine User Assigned Rights To Public Role

Oct 10, 2007

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.

Unable To Find / Start SQL Services Or Add Vista User Into Admin Role

Apr 23, 2007

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?

Dt_ Procs And The Public Role

Oct 3, 2006

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

Public Server Role

Mar 30, 2006

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.

Removing Login's From Public Role

May 24, 2000

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

Public Role And Explicit Rights

Sep 19, 2005

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?

Create DB Role Owned By Public

Jul 20, 2007

I 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?

Reseting Select Permissions For Public Role

Sep 13, 2004

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.

Programmatically Adding A User To The System User Role

Dec 27, 2006

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?

Adding A User/role To All User Database

Jan 23, 2001

Hi 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?

Unable To Remove SQL

Mar 10, 2008

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.

User/Role Check

Jun 5, 2000

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?

Get The Currently Logged In User's SQL Role In A Different Database

May 14, 2008

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.

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.

Retrieving User/Role Privileges - How ?

Jul 7, 2004

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 ?
