Permissions in Enterprise Manager

  • My DBA is having trouble with permissions in Enterprise Manager.

    As a developer, I need to be able to look at live systems for support reasons, but not make changes. On a live box, I can't even view the list of SQL Server Agent jobs in Enterprise Manager. I'm a member of a role with select privileges on sysjobs in the msdb database, so can query this, but how can the DBA give me permission to see the jobs (and their logs/history) in Enterprise Manager?

    TIA,

    Bill.

  • They really can't.  The way of seeing this in EM is that IF you are the same permission-level or greater THAN you can see through the GUI IF not then you cannot see through EM.

    IF you have R/O to the system tables why do you need to see the GUI?  The tables are sysjobs, sysjobschedules, sysjobsteps, sysjobservers, sysjobhistory and provide all the same information?

     



    Good Hunting!

  • Check the role TargetServerRole in msdb. This should give you permissions to view the jobs.

  • Many thanks - this is the solution. A whole team of developers is grateful (and one DBA).

    Anothe win for SQL Server Central!
