Re: Trigger upon creating new stored procedure

  • Is there anyway to setup a trigger that fires when creating a stored procedure? When a developer adds a new stored procedure, I want to grant the ability to execute the new stored procedure to a system user. I know that the following query will retrieve all stored procedures in a database:

    SELECT USER_NAME(uid) Owner, [name] StoredProcedure

    FROM sysobjects

    WHERE xtype = 'P'

    If possible, I don't want to setup an automated scheduled task to assign permissions. Developers may create a stored procedure and expect it to be available to the system user "instantaneously". Likewise, developers may go days/weeks without creating new stored procedures.

  • You can create a trigger on sysobjects table, for INSERT when xType='P'.

  • Triggers on system objects were never safe... and they are 100% forbidden 2005 forward.

    That's why DDL triggers were created.

    I have never done that but I'm sure BOLs can point you in the right direction for that.

    Let us know your final solution.

    TIA.

  • Here's a simple example to get you started:

    CREATE TRIGGER sProc_Trigger

    ON DATABASE

    FOR CREATE_PROCEDURE

    AS

    PRINT 'CREATE PROCEDURE Issued.'

    SELECT EVENTDATA().value('(/EVENT_INSTANCE/TSQLCommand/CommandText)[1]','nvarchar(max)')

    --RAISERROR ('New tables cannot be created in this database.', 16, 1)

    --ROLLBACK

    SELECT EVENTDATA()

    ;

    And here's a script to test it:

    CREATE Proc Test_Proc

    as

    Select *

    from sys.objects

    Thanks again for everyone's help.

    CREATE TRIGGER [Create_SP_Trigger]

    ON DATABASE

    FOR CREATE_PROCEDURE

    AS

    --PRINT 'CREATE PROCEDURE Issued.'

    DECLARE @SQL nvarchar(4000),

    @Owner sysname,

    @StoredProcedure sysname,

    @Return int

    -- Returns the most recently inserted stored procedure

    SELECT TOP (1) @Owner = USER_NAME(uid), @StoredProcedure = [name]

    FROM sysobjects

    WHERE xtype = 'P'

    ORDER BY sysobjects.crdate DESC

    -- Set the return code to 0

    SET @Return = 0

    -- Encapsulate the permissions assignment within a transaction

    BEGIN TRAN

    -- Create the SQL Statement. Since we're giving

    -- access to all stored procedures, we have to

    -- use a two-part naming convention to get the owner.

    SET @SQL = 'GRANT EXECUTE ON [' + @Owner

    + '].[' + @StoredProcedure

    + '] TO db_executor';

    -- Execute the SQL statement

    EXEC @Return = sp_executesql @SQL

    -- Check to see if there was an error.

    IF (@Return = 0)

    BEGIN

    -- Exited fine, commit the permissions

    COMMIT TRAN

    END

    ELSE

    BEGIN

    -- Exited with an error, rollback any changes

    ROLLBACK TRAN

    -- Report the error

    SET @SQL = 'Error granting permission to ['

    + @Owner + '].[' + @StoredProcedure + ']';

    RAISERROR(@SQL, 16, 1);

    END

    GO

  • Glad I could help...

  • Thanks SSC and guys for the code, copy-and-paste worked

    Did some testing code as well

    No trigger

    DISABLE TRIGGER Create_SP_Trigger ON DATABASE

    GO

    CREATE PROCEDURE Grant_Test_Proc

    AS

    PRINT 'should have triggered the trigger'

    GO

    EXECUTE AS USER = 'wglnapp'

    EXEC Grant_Test_Proc

    --The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'Grant_Test_Proc', database 'DBNAME', schema 'dbo'.

    Trigger works

    ENABLE TRIGGER Create_SP_Trigger ON DATABASE

    GO

    CREATE PROCEDURE Grant_Test_Proc

    AS

    PRINT 'should have triggered the trigger'

    GO

    EXECUTE AS USER = 'wglnapp'

    EXEC Grant_Test_Proc

    --should have triggered the trigger

    Viewing the events that cause a trigger to fire

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189799.aspx

    SELECT TE.*

    FROM sys.trigger_events AS TE

    JOIN sys.triggers AS T

    ON T.object_id = TE.object_id

    WHERE T.parent_class = 0

    AND T.name = 'Create_SP_Trigger'

    View SP's without db_executor EXECUTE permissions

    SELECT USER_NAME(so.uid) Owner, so.[name] StoredProcedure

    FROM sysobjects so

    LEFT JOIN

    (SELECT [id]

    FROM sysprotects

    WHERE uid = USER_ID('db_executor')

    AND [action] = 224) sp

    ON so.[id] = sp.[id]

    WHERE so.xtype = 'P'

    AND sp.[id] IS NULL

    I just have a question, how do I switch back to dbo role? (I'm sysadmin on the server)

    EXECUTE AS USER = 'dbo' -- select user_name()

    DROP PROCEDURE Grant_Test_Proc

    --Cannot execute as the database principal because the principal "dbo" does not exist,

    this type of principal cannot be impersonated, or you do not have permission.

    Well, if you EXECUTE AS is a statement, then you use the REVERT command.

    On the other hand, if your EXECUTE AS is a procedure clause, then you have to exit out of the procedure's context.

  • Awesome, REVERT worked (and another new command learned)

    Thanks, RBarry

    EXECUTE AS USER = 'wglnapp'

    EXEC Grant_Test_Proc -- fired the trigger

    GO

    REVERT;

    DROP PROCEDURE Grant_Test_Proc -- success

    GO
