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.

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?

Is It Possible To "extend" Role/user Rights Using SP...

Jun 8, 2001

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.

TIA,
Shamil

Restrict Role To CREATE TABLE On An Assigned SCHEMA

May 9, 2008

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?

Guest Principal Assigned To Datareader Role Does Have Access

Mar 1, 2007

Hello (help),

In SQL2000, when the Guest account was assigned into a role, such as db_datareader, then querying across databases worked just fine.

Specifically:
I have a Report Writer application that connects to the SQL Server with a login (ReportRunner) that actually has very limited permissions on a database.
The connection is then set (sp_setapprole) to use an Application role (App_RR) that has the necessary permissions.
The report-writer app calls a Stored Procedure that gathers data from several other databases (on the same SQL instance).
In SQL 2000, accessing these other databases was done through Guest - we assigned Guest to the db_datareader role. All worked fine.

We've just upgraded to SQL2005: reports started failing. It seems that although guest is assigned to the db_datareader role, the permissions for Guest don't allow selecting from tables via the db_datareader role: we've had to GRANT SELECT TO Guest specifically on the tables necessary for the report.

Is anyone aware of a design change withing SQL Server such that the Guest principal's roles are disregarded when assessing permission? Is there a new and better way to structure the permissions?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Accessing Windows Users Assigned To A Database Role

Mar 3, 2006

Is
there a way to find a list of Windows User accounts that are directly
or indirectly (through Windows Group membership) assigned to a database
role?

I could put work in to CLR programming or using a Linked Server to
Active Directory, but if there is a sys.* view available that can
provide me this
information directly it would be much easier.

I'll be looking into this further myself anyway and posting an answer
if I can find one, but if anyone has suggestions... well, thanks!

DENY Or REVOKE Rights To PUBLIC And GUEST

May 14, 2008

Hi Guys,
We are using MS SQL 2005. I am ask to remove the PUBLIC rights to the objects listed in the following query in the master DB:

SELECT sysusers.name, sysobjects.name,sysprotects.action FROM sysobjects, sysusers, sysprotects WHERE sysobjects.id = sysprotects.id AND sysprotects.uid = sysusers.uid AND sysprotects.protecttype = 205

I keep having the "Cannot find the object [Objectname], because it does not exists or you do not have permission."

How do I create a query to remove the PUBLIC rights at a single run. (There are total of 1660 items, please dun ask me to write the DENY or REVOKE statement 1660 time )

How do I DENY the rights for objects starting with the prefix "dm_" or items like "TABLE PRIVILEGES"
Thanks guys Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

Query To Determine Public Access

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,

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

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.

DBA Role And His Rights

Oct 30, 2001

Hi everybody,
The below I posted on SQL 2000 Forum about a week ago.
Any new thoughts................
I would like to get an input from as many people as possible on the following:
In our organization DBA is responsible for 5 servers ( currently NT 4/SQL 7)and is a part of group of a 5 people including manager and 3 developers.
DBA currently has a FULL access to every server.
In a few months we will be replacing the existing system with Windows 2000/SQL 2000.
LAN group will give to DBA only a read rights for the Windows 2000 environment, saying that the AUDITORS, both internal and external, require that. In other words, if DBA needs to run a command prompt, move files from one directory to another in Production environment, he has to fill the request to LAN, so LAN group would do that.
So I guess the main question(s) is:
What is the degree of involmment of DBA with Operating system?
Is DBA suppose to be an NT administrator ( I dont think so, since DBA has a lot of other thing to do?
If DBA accidently makes an unwanted changes to the Operating System, who should be blamed for ( not personally, but in more general terms) and would it be an extra argument to take write rights away from a DBA?
What auditors saying about that?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Andrei

Access Rights To Two Mssql Dbs Via Password Protected Role

Jan 30, 2007

I dont know how to arrange situation when application enduser needs to access data in two databases of mssql server concurently in those circumstances that access rights to the data should be restricted by password protected role (whose password is not known to the end user).

Detailed description of problem:

So far there was an application, that manipulated its data, saved in mssql server's database. End user authenticates to application by his (mssql server's) login name and password. The application authenticates the user by connecting to the database with the given name/password credentials, and then the application sets application role with hardcoded name/password. Thus application role sets the access rights for consequent end user's requests, delivered via application to the database server.

The goal is that end user cannot manipulate application database data when connects to the database by other means (e. g. via SQL server Manager), because he does not know the application role's password.

Now suppose that there are two applications (A1, A2), both using the same model for access restrictions. Each of them has its own database (A1DB, A2DB) and its own application role (A1R residing in A1DB, A2R residing in A2DB). End user (login) X can manipulate A1DB data when connects via A1, and A2DB data when connects via A2, and NO data when connects by other means.

Finally suppose that some subset of A2 data (let's say one table) is useful to see also via A1 application. There is no problem to add to A1DB view, that shows data from A2DB table together with A1DB tables. But when the user is connected via A1, he cannot see the data, because query on A1 view fails (user has not access rights on A2 data).

The access rights for A1 enduser cannot be set by no means i know because:

1) I cannot set the rights via public (guest) access because in that case they will be accessible to any users connected by any third party products, which is supposed to be security hole.

2) I cannot set the rights via dbuser or dbrole privileges, because they will not work when connected via A1 application (setting the app role suppresses the db privileges)

3) I cannot set the rights via application role because two application roles cannot be set concurrently.

4) I cannot abandon using application roles mechanism and use database roles mechanism, because db roles cannot be protected by independent password (not known to the enduser).

Please can anybody review my problem and either find the mistake in my approach, or propose other solution? So far I suppose the problem is my ignorance, because I am not great mssql expert.

How Do I Change The Status On My Database? Currently Is Is Assigned As Restricted User

Jun 19, 2008

I restored a sql server database today. There is a problem though. In SQL server, right next to the name of the database are the words "Restricted User". Their seem to be some limitations on my access to this database now as I am not able to run some of my C# code against the database. How can I fix this in SQL server so that I am not a Restriced user.

Example of what I am talking about. In SQL server my database is named Gorlaz. Just to the left of this is a yellow Icon that represents the database "Gorlaz". For illustration purposes I will use the character "$" to substitute for the yellow database icon. So this is how it reads in SQL server management studio.
$Gorlaz(Restricted User)

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?
