Security Permissions

  • Hi,

    Silly question, but it has always bugged me.

    When you look at permissions for a login or role you see all the boxes for objects and options for select, delete etc These boxes are always empty, unless you tick them for access or enter a cross for access denied.

    What is the default value, when nothing is in the box. An hour or so of googling has failed to produce the answer.

    Thanks

  • Unless the permission box is checked, the permission isn't granted to the user or role. However, if a user has execute permission for a stored procedure that selects, inserts, updates, or deletes the permissions are implied and the user doesn't need explicit permissions on the table itself.

  • Thanks, that is what I thought.

    However, we recently moved aa databasse to a new server and the application failed. We added a guest login to the database, but did NOT add any permisssions and the application then worked.

    Trying to explain this behaviour, without success at present.
