Login restriction

  • Hello All,

    I have a scenario where i am looking to restrict a login only to read from the tables but the same login is used to execute stored procedures which are having some DML statements in it?

    How to achieve this?At a high level i want to keep the login to only read from tables but at the same time it should allow the user to execute the stored procedures(Having DML statements).

    Please let me know whether this is feasible.

    Your help would be appreciated

  • Give the user select rights on the tables and execute rights on the procedures. It will work exactly as you want. They'll be able to only select directly from the tables, but when they run a proc whatever that proc does will work, providing the procedures don't use dynamic SQL.

    The user has permissions to execute the stored procedure.The stored procdure is having CREATE,ALTER TABLE, ALTER PARTITIONS statements in it?

    Iam just looking to restrict a login only to read from the tables but while executing the stored prcodure it must allow the user to do the above operations.Is this possible?

    Your help would be highly appreciated

    Unfortunately i am still not able to do this.Please see the details below

    Scenario:

    I have a login test_login which has role as db_datareader and db_datawriter.

    Created this stored procedure with another login which had full access.The stored procedure has create table statement inside it

    create proc test1

    as

    begin

    create table test1

    (id int)

    end

    I granted execution rights for the following object for test_login

    GRANT EXEC ON test1 TO test_login

    When i execute this SP with test_login .i get the error 'CREATE TABLE permission denied in database'.

    I want this SP to create the table.Is this possible in current security context?

    Please correct me if iam wrong.

  • The user has permissions to execute the stored procedure.The stored procdure is having CREATE,ALTER TABLE, ALTER PARTITIONS statements in it?

    Just to clarify, these are DDL statements and not DML.

  • For DDL you may need to use EXECUTE AS in the procedure definition. Your original post asked about DML.

    Just... why procedures that alter the DB structure?

    If the owner of the procedure has the rights to create table / issue DDL statements, then you could edit your procedure like so:

    create proc test1

    WITH EXECUTE AS OWNER

    as

    begin

    create table test1

    (id int)

    end

    Otherwise you could use a specific SQL User that has these rights:

    WITH EXECUTE AS 'UserName'
