Question

  • Hi,

    I am new Sql Server. Just started reading abt the security part in sql server. I have a question regarding it.

    Q1- What excatly is a role?

    Q2-= If I assign a login as SECURITYADMIN. Wil he be able to manage all the logins(I mean Both Sql Logins and Windows Logins)? Or Will be able to manage only Sql Server Logings?

    Can any one elobatre on Roles?

    Thank You

  • Role - Group in AD. It's a way of assigning permissions to an object, and then assigning particular users to the role/group and having them receive permissions.

    In terms of securityadmin - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189610%28v=SQL.90%29.aspx

    It manages both Windows and SQL logins.

  • I read in a book that "Server roles are Static Objects"

    What do Static Objects mean?

  • Not sure, maybe one that can't be customized. You can't change rights on a server role.

    They can't be changed (and in 2008 R2 and below, can't be added to either)
