Access to Non sysadmins

  • What are the dis advantages of giving " View Server State " permissions to a non DBA ? I am trying to find if there are any risks and if somethings happens will that be fixable ?

  • any comments on this ? 😎

  • I personally think that the risk is minimal and have granted it to non-dbas. I think I read something like it can show row counts or sql code or something (sorry - I don't remember) that you may not want others to see. We determined the benefit of granted this access far exceeded the potential risk.

  • Can non sys admin be given the previalge to KILL other processess, if so what would be the best method?

  • I am trying to create a stored procedure where in i can give option to one of my developer to KILL sql sessions on a developmenet server. how would i do this without granting sysadmin or process admin previalges to that user.

    I tried "execute as owner" from a stored proc but did not work and also didnt give any error message.
