    Guys:

    When am querying DMVs in queries like "select * from sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats"

    am getting the following error.

    Msg 297, Level 16, State 1, Line 2

    The user does not have permission to perform this action.

    What kind of access should i have to execute DMVs?

    Thanks

    You need to have View Server State Permissions

    Choose the Login, right click and select properties, go to Securables page and click Add, select you server, you should see a list of permissions, in which navigate to the bottom, you find View Server State. Select Grant.

    Remember, if you are not given that permissions, then ask your DBA for the same, if it is you personal system you own it so it's you wish. 🙂

    Refer SQL Server Books Online whenever you need such info also have a SQL Server Database Administration handy always.

    You'll also need VIEW DATABASE STATE for some of the DMV's.
