How can I allow non SA accounts access to view completed Job History of certain jobs.
Development application owners may receive notification of a Production SQL job failing and have no way to see step "details" of the failed job.
Using SQL Server 2k5 sp1, Is there a way to deny users access to a specific column in a table and deny that same column to all stored procedures and views that use that column? I have a password field in a database in which I do not want anyone to have select permissions on (except one user). I denied access in the table itself, however the views still allow for the user to select that password. I know I can go through and set this on a view by view basis, but I am looking for something a little more global.

I have a full database backup scheduled at 2AM in the morning
everyday and If I see that job status in Sql Server logs
current activity , it shows me that database has been backed
up at 2AM....But the problem is when I go to jobs and try to
do a view job history it doesn't give me the details of the
job and I didn't clear the job history..Can anyone tell me the
reason why it doesn't show me the job history.
Thanks

I received this error while trying to view a job's history while using SSMS.
syntax error (ll DB Maint'']) (Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoEnum)
anyone see anything like this? I dropped a database yesterday that was included in the maintenance plan, but forgot to take it out of the plan itself.
Hello, I browsed the internet for an answer but all I can
find is the mention of a third party tool called log explorer
that cost a grand for a single license ... no thank you,
but basically what i want to do is be able to open the .ldf file
that is created to log transactions when you first create a database.
Or if there is another method to view transaction logs then please mention it.
I tried DBCC Log('database') which did not provide me with much information
which I can use.
Thanks in advance,

I want to give developers access to view SQL Job history, but not let them inhert permission to create local jobs like they get with the fixed server roles.
how can this be achieved? Or can it only be achieved by giving them access to the tables in msdb and querying them?
Hi. I'm very new to SQL Server and would greatly appreciate any advice with regard to my two questions below.
I've recently been given responsibility for a pair of clustered Windows 2003 servers running SQL Server 2005. Looking through SQL Server Management Studio, I found the following three maintenance plans:
- System Maintenance Plan (all system databases)
- Plan 1 (1 database)
- Plan 2 (4 databases).
All three maintenace plans had the following elements configured, in the following order:
- Check Database Integrity
- Backup Database (Full)
- Shrink Database
- Update statistics
- Clean Up History
with the exception that Plan 1 doesn't have a 'Shrink Database' task (because, I'm told, its data is pretty static), but none had a Maintenance Cleanup Task, so I added one to each plan specifying 14 days of old backups to be kept in all cases except Plan 1, where I limited it to 2 days, the database being over 7 GB in size. All links between tasks in all plans are AND constraints, value 'Completion'. All .BAKs are written to tape by Symantec Backup Exec as part of the daily backup.
Two questions from this:
1. Since .BAKs are written to separate folders for each database, do I need, for example, four Maintenance Cleanup Tasks for the Plans covering four databases - one for each folder/database? I can't see a way of specifying that a Maintenance Cleanup Task should apply to multiple databases or search subfolders based on database name, so I assume I need four consecutive Maintenance Cleanup Tasks within a single plan? Is this the way to do it?
2.The data displayed when I right-click a maintenance plan and choose View History shows:
date and time run
plan name
task name
duration
log type
log source
Since I added a Maintenance Cleanup Task to each plan, the only task shown in the Task Name column is Cleanup History (set to 'Older than 7 days'), and the duration is 00:00:00, where previously all tasks were shown and the overall duration was over a minute.
However, the .BAK files are being created (size looks OK), the application log contains entries suggesting the backups and other tasks completed successfully, and if I expand the SQL Server Logs node and view the current file I can see entries which give the same 'success' messages (presumably this log is the source of the 'success' messages in the application log?).
Why does there appear to be an anomaly between the 'View History' display and the SQL Server Log and application log? Should I be worried, or is what I can see in the SQL Server Logs and application log sufficient grounds for a good night's sleep?
Thanks,
Ed

I followed T-SQL instructions from Steve Gott (Thanks!) to alter the dbo schema and granted create a view permissions for one of my users. She can now create a view, however, she can not save the view she creates such as dbo.view1. Additionally, when she right-clicks on and existing view, it shows the ability to create views, however, greyed out are the options to edit or design the view.
What other steps should I take to ensure she can create, edit, design and save new and existing views?
I've seriously looked, but this simple concept eludes me. How do I go about viewing all the permissions granted to a database user? Like whether or not they can execute a stored procedure.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have granted a developer the alter view permissions on some views in our production server which now allow him to open the view for modification. When he tries to save his changes he gets an error that he doesn't have create view permission. If seen this behavior before when you modify a table, does SQL Server 7.0 actually drop and recreate the object? If so, would he then need create permissions on views also?

What specific permissions do you need to be able to view information_schema views? I thought public role had permissions to select on these views, but this is not the case? What do I do?
my developers have db_reader, db_writer, and db_ddladmin. They do not have db_owner. If I make them Sysadmin in sql they can view them, but that doens't fit in our security setup we have. THoughts?

I have created a view where the data is a subset of the table. When a non dbo user selects only the first column from that view, the query returns the value. However, when the non dbo user selects any of the other columns or a combination of columns I get an invalid column name error. The syntax of my query is correct because it works when I use QA using a login with dbo permissions. Ideas?
Any help would be appreciated.
I am having trouble with permissions on views and tables. I have a set of tables owned by dbo, and then a set of view owed by another user, say User1.
So I have a table dbo.Airports, and then a view User1.Airports. User1 has all permissions on dbo.Airports, and via ISQL I can select and update with no problem. MY VB application is working with User1.Airport, and it will select from User1.Airport fine, but I keep getting an error when I try to Update User1.Airport. I have many other tables set up the same way, and they all work fine - my VB app updates no problem. Any ideas?
I have dropped and recreated the table and all views, assigned all permissions, everything looks good, but...
Another strangev thing is if I use Enterprise Manager, and display permissions by user, and display all tables and views, the permissions are checked off for the view, but not the table, (which is incorrect) but if I don't display permissions for view, the permissions are checked off forv the table, which is correct. So that seems not to be working correctly.
How do you view permissions granted to an id, such as ALTER TRACE permission, using Management Studio? I want to see if ALTER TRACE permission has been granted to an id, but am unable to find this information in the GUI.

We are running SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition. I don't want tomake the developers the sysadmin or even the dbo in the userdatabases. Is there a way to give them access to only view thepermissions for the stored procedures in the user database withoutmaking them dbo?When I take them out of the db_owner role, when they open a storedprocedure they no longer see the permissions tab. I would like forthem to see the permissions tab and be able to view the permissionsbut not change the permissions.Is that doable?

I am having a problem with permissions using Windows groups. I have a database (database1) that has permissions granted via Windows groups. Two groups (group1 and group2) are members of the db_datareader role in database1, and this work fine. Do to the number of tables that get created during our work, using db_datareader is the easiest way to keep up with permissions without creating a maintenance problem. Now I have a table that I want to add to this database, but I only want group2 to have select permission on this one table which is a problem because group1 has the db_datareader role. So I thought I could create a view in this database to the restricted table that I put in database2. Then in database2 I only added group2 as a user with the permission to select from this table. Unfortunately the group membership does not seem to get interpretted correctly in database2 and no one can successfult select from the view in database1.
In other words, user1 who belongs to group1 connects to database1 and cannot select from the restricted view -- this is what I would expect. However, when user2 who belongs to group2 connects to database1 they also cannot select from the restricted view -- not the behvior I would expect. Now, if I make user2 a user in database2 with select on the restricted table then user2 can connect to database1 and successfuly get data from the restricted view. So it looks like the fact that user2 belongs to group2 is never passed to database2 via the select from the view on database1. Is this indeed the way that Windows group security is working or is meant to work in SQL Server?
I realize I could solve this simplified version of the problem by creating my own role in database1 for group1 etc., but I am trying to solve a bigger problem in our environment that has hundreds of databases across numerous servers.
Thanks

View 5 Replies View RelatedFor SQL Server 2000 we have a user login mapped to msdb with database role membership of db_datareader and public checked. This seems to allow the developers to view the Management Activity monitor. For SQL Server 2005 the same mapping is in place but the developers cannot view the Management Activity monitor. Developers are NOT granted the sysadmin role, and should not have that role.
What permissions need to be set for SQL Server 2005 to allow users to view the Management Activity monitor? They should not be allowed to take actions on the activities.
As part of our security project, I've done the following when logged in as 'sa':
Created database roles 'dbrole1' within dbAccount
Created login and user 'user1' and added user to be a member of 'dbrole1'
Granted execute permissions on sp1 and sp2 to 'dbrole1'
However, I didn't see the above permissions listed in SQL Server Management Studio - Database - Security - Roles - Database Roles - 'dbrole1' properties - securables
Any ideas? Thanks!
The developers in our shop have a need to explicitly grant view definition permissions to themselves on stored procedures they create in their development databases. They have dbo level permissions in these databases and although they can explicitly grant view definition permissions to other developers in the same database, they are unable to do so for themselves. When they attempt this, it appears that they are successful but when they check the stored procedure afterwards the permission is not there for themselves.
While this does not cause an issue in development, the intention is for these view definition permissions to be carried forward to the test and production databases where they only have datareader permissions.
When these stored procedures are scripted out by the dba to move to Test and Production the view definition permissions are not scripted out for the developer in question.
Is there a way that a developer with dbo rights in a database can explicitly grant themselves view definition permissions on a stored procedure they create as dbo?

This isn't true, the job was run a few days ago. I know that no one went in and cleard the history on the jobs. What causes this issue, is there a way to not make this happen in the future?
