Permission needed to open design view

  • I created a user and gave them dbreader and dbwriter... but they cannot open Design View. They can if I grant them DBO permission. How can I allow them to open Design View without DBO?

  • What do you mean by design view? Is this BIDS/Visual Studio, Report Builder, another application?

  • When you go to a table in SSMS and right click on the table and left click on DESIGN

  • If they are only in the db_datareader and db_datawriter Roles why would they need to Design a table? Neither of those Roles give them permissions to do that.

    Membership in the db_owner Role (not the same thing as dbo by the way) would allow them to alter any table in the database.

  • Thank you for the information OPC. I am sorry... I meant db_owner.
