  Hi All,

  how do you check the permissions on a view?

  I can right click and view permission but I'm after a query or command used to view the permission

  Thanks in adavance.

  Cheers

  Something like this?

  declare @ViewName varchar(255) = 'YourViewNameHere'

  select name as UserName, permission_name, state_desc

  from sys.database_permissions p

  join sys.database_principals dp ON dp.principal_id = p.grantee_principal_id

  where major_id = object_id(@ViewName)
