I have a data reader's access on ssms.
I can see the tables but i cannot see any tables in views that created.
Thanks
Your DBA perhaps has to execute one of those statements to give you access to DDL definitions of objects. Currently, you are limited to read data
USE [dbname]
-- via fixed database role
ALTER ROLE [db_ddladmin] ADD MEMBER [yourUser]
-- view ANY definition, as Larnu mentioned
GRANT VIEW ANY DEFINITION TO [yourUser]
-- limited scope to some certain schema, but can also object level
GRANT VIEW DEFINITION ON SCHEMA::[Backup] TO [yourUser]
Update
Objects could be not visible in SSMS because such DENY granted:
DENY VIEW ANY DEFINITION TO User1

I'm trying to retrieve the CREATE table statement for multiple tables from oracle SQL Developer so I can run it in SQL Management to create new tables.
However, when highlighting multiple tables and right clicking > Quick DLL> Save to File, my file looks like this:
GRANT INSERT ON "OPSR"."BOOTH" TO "OPSWEB";
GRANT UPDATE ON "OPSR"."BOOTH" TO "OPSWEB";
GRANT SELECT ON "OPSR"."BOOTH" TO "OPSWEB";
GRANT DELETE ON "OPSR"."CAAR_BOOTH" TO "OPSWEB";
GRANT INSERT ON "OPSR"."CAAR_BOOTH" TO "OPSWEB";
GRANT SELECT ON "OPSR"."CAAR_BOOTH" TO "OPSWEB";
GRANT UPDATE ON "OPSR"."CAAR_BOOTH" TO "OPSWEB";
Why is there no CREATE table statements in here?
I'm connected as Opsweb and the only tables I can see are under the OPSR user.
You can't see the create DDL for other user's objects. SQL Developer is using dbms_metadata in the background, and from the documentation:
The object views of the Oracle metadata model implement security as follows:
Nonprivileged users can see the metadata of only their own objects.
Nonprivileged users can also retrieve public synonyms, system privileges granted to them, and object privileges granted to them or by them to others. This also includes privileges granted to PUBLIC.
If callers request objects they are not privileged to retrieve, no exception is raised; the object is simply not retrieved.
If nonprivileged users are granted some form of access to an object in someone else's schema, they will be able to retrieve the grant specification through the Metadata API, but not the object's actual metadata.
and so on. As the last bullet above says, you cen get the grants - which is what you are seeing now - but not the actual metadata.
If your user was granted the select_catalog_role you would be able to get the DDL for OPSR's objects, but you'd have to ask your DBA for that and it would probably be easier to connect as that user, or ask someone else who can to do that to perform the extract for you.
I’m pulling data from mysql ec2 instances, to s3 buckets, then creating views in redshift. I want to create database users who can only query and see certain views created specifically for them in Redshift. I have example code below that I use to create the user, view, and grant access. The issue I have is that I also have to grant access to the underlying schema the view is created from, which means the user can see and query tables in that schema. Also the user can see other schemas in the database, even ones they can’t query. Is there a way to only grant users to specific views, and make it so they can’t see other schemas they don’t have access to?
Code:
--create schema
create schema tst_user_schema;
--create view in schema
create view tst_user_schema.inventory_report_customer as (
select * from user341.inventory_report_customer
)
with no schema binding;
--creating user
CREATE USER tstuser PASSWORD 'tstPassword';
--grant access
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA tst_user_schema TO tstuser;
--grant read access to all tables in schema
GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA tst_user_schema TO tstuser;
--grant access
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA user341 TO tstuser;
--grant read access to all tables in schema
GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA user341 TO tstuser;
--grant access
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA tst_user_schema TO tstuser;
--grant read access to all tables in schema
GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA tst_user_schema TO tstuser;
to recap:
schema user341 - contains source tables, user should not be able to select from tables in this schema. You also want to hide it form the user
tst_user_schema - contains views user is supposed to be able to select from.
Looking at your GRANT statements, you're granting user unnecessarily SELECT permission on ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA user341. For views to work you only need to GRANT USAGE on that schema.
So REVOKE those permissions, and user should not be able to select.
REVOKE SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA user341 FROM tstuser;
Tip: to easily test permissions, you can start a session as tstuser using SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION directive and then test which statements are allowed and which not.
SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION tstuser
Regarding schema visibility - unfortunately there's no way to hide or forbid user from seening all tables and columns in all schemas. One can only restrict access to data.
I am managing a database that has a number of schemas. I am having some difficulty with setting privileges and would like to request some help.
I have the schema called schemaA and a group_role db_writer
I use the following sql:
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA schemaA TO db_writer;
GRANT UPDATE, INSERT, SELECT, DELETE ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA schemaA TO db_writer;
However, the db_writer is unable to create views. They are returned with a permission denied error. Also, when I create views, she is then unable to select them...and I have to set the priviliges again for that view.
It was my understanding the views were treated as tables with respect to privileges...and if one is granted certain permissions to all tables in a schema this would apply to views also.
What am I missing? Any advice appreciated.
The problem is USAGE does not allow users to create objects within the database.
Try
GRANT USAGE, CREATE ON SCHEMA schemaA TO db_writer
Edit:
New objects will get default privileges, for the user to have those privileges for objects created in the future you can do it as:
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA schemaA GRANT UPDATE, INSERT, SELECT, DELETE ON TABLES TO db_writer;
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA schemaA GRANT SELECT ON TABLES TO db_reader;

I'm trying to create a role to give a few users permission to create and alter views, procedures and tables.
I don't want these users to be able to select from/update/delete/alter etc. any table in the database, there are tables we want to keep control of - but they should have full permissions on any objects they create.
I've given the users permissions to create views etc. and that works fine, but they can't then select from views they then create. Is it possible to do this?

Example:
An example user Mike has specific permissions granted on a handful of tables. All Grant, no Deny.
No other database level permissions beyond "connect"
Plus is a member of public (not altered - no denys), plus 3 other roles we have set up
Role: Standard_Reader
Specific Select permissions on a number of tables. All Grant, no Deny.
No other database level permissions
Role: SensitiveDemographicsReader
Specific Select permissions on sensitive tables. All Grant, no Deny
Role: Analyst
No Specific securables
Database level permissions:
Create Function
Create Procedure
Create Table
Create View
This user can create a table or view, but once created, can't select from it.
Is it possible to set up SQL server so that whenever a user user creates a table or view they then have permissions to select from it (assuming they have permissions on underlying tables in view)
-- EDIT
After some investigation it has become apparent that for some reason in our database, ownership of objects is not acruing to their creators.
Found using this code
select so.name, su.name, so.crdate from sysobjects so join sysusers su on so.uid = su.uid
order by so.crdate
All owners, with a couple of exceptions are DBO.
I can't understand why ownership is not passing to the creators of objects. Any idea what could cause this?
Sounds like what you're using to deny them in the first place is overriding the default settings. Can you post more information on what permissions the users have?
Can't comment :(
I would comment but lack privileges; have you taken a look at MySQL table permissions? It's a rather good system.
you need to grant SELECT on the schema to user/group:
GRANT SELECT ON SCHEMA::dbo TO User/Group;
I use Schema in my database only for grouping tables, views, stored procedure, functions and other object by subject, and I dont realy know where schema must be used, and why schema tab is below security tab in SSMS.
EDIT :
Schemata are a way to logically group objects so that consistent permissions can be applied to all of them through the schema rather than individually. Consider:
create schema [foo] authorization [dbo]
grant select on schema::[foo] to [user1]
create table [foo].[table_1] (...)
create table [foo].[table_2] (...)
create table [foo].[table_3] (...)
By placing all of the tables in one schema, I was able to grant permission at the schema level and that notion of permission trickled down to all of the tables contained therein.
i think this placement is because of mapping between security of users (roles and users) and schemas. not data structure of schema, like tables and columns and so on.
if you go to security tab -> Users-> double click on on of the users. you find that you can edit mapping between that user and owned or role membership of SCHEMAs.
im hopeful to be useful for u.
