DENY DELETE to does not seem work for me

  • I grant database roles to our developers in the Azure sql databases.  I need to DENY DELETE on all tables in the databases so I coded 3 ways below where X is an AD group.  I am a member in X AD group.

    1. DENY DELETE ON SCHEMA :: dbo TO X; -- DENY on schema

    2.DENY DELETE TO X; -- DENY to AD group

    3. DENY DELETE ON ErrorLog TO X; -- DENY on table

    then tested the delete after I ran each command. To my surprise, I can still delete records on errorlog table after all 3 statements ran!

    PS:  I only resorted to Statement 2 because Statement 1 did not work for me.  Then coded statement 3 because 1 and 2 did not work.

    Querying the DENY DELETE permissions:

    SELECT l.name as grantee_name, p.state_desc, p.permission_name, o.name

    FROM sys.database_permissions AS p JOIN sys.database_principals AS l

    ON p.grantee_principal_id = l.principal_id

    JOIN sys.sysobjects O

    ON p.major_id = O.id

    WHERE p.state_desc ='DENY' and l.name = 'X'

    grantee_name| state_desc| permission_name |name

    X DENY DELETE ErrorLog

    X DENY DELETE sysrowsets

    X DENY DELETE sysclones

    What did I miss or have done incorrectly?  Thank you very much!

  • Do you -- the user running the code -- also have sysadmin permission?  If you have sysadmin permission, any DENYs are ignored.

  • Scott,

    I ran

    select HAS_DBACCESS('product')

    select IS_MEMBER('db_owner')

    and found I am a member of db_owner.

    Thank you very much for the help.

    Now I have to find someone not sysadmin, not db_owner to test the DENY Delete.
