Permissions for Sql Login for Linked Server

  • I was just wondering how a linked server login which is a sql login is manged to tight security for distributed queries. I have a link login by which some programmers use to insert data in different servers, but i assume all the users in differnt servers can also do as those permissions are given to link login. am i right?

    Is there a way i give access to only programmers for the link login and restrict others from all the servers.

  • For Linked Server, you can use Impersonate Login or Mapped Login

    so for 70-431 exam, they have couple questions

    If you want to only give login App1 on Server1 to Server2

    You create a linked server to Server2, map App1 to App2 login on Server2, and choose "Not Be Made" for all OTHER logins...

    That seemed to be what you were asking?

  • How can i use Impersonate login when am not using windows authentication. I have a sql login which links all the servers and i gave read and write access to that link login by which all the users can write to the databases. is there a way i can restrict some of them to write, its really critical.
