I want to grant permission to particular user for system tables,system logging and system view.
I've read in this answer that granting syslog access would help, but that did not work for me on view svv_table_info.
what did work for me was simple grant select, but only when I've added the system schema name too.
grant select on pg_catalog.svv_table_info to user;

I am granting permission on some objects to my user in a database, Is there any way to grant permission to user without using database role?
I can easily do it by creating database role, but I do not want to use role.
I assigned some objects to my user by Database User, in Securables tab, it didn't work!
create user [user_test] for login [login_test]
create role role_test authorization user_test
exec sp_addrolemember 'role_test', 'user_test'
grant select on object::dbUser.tbl_05 to role_test
I expected I could grant permission to my user and not to use Database Role.
You have (at least) 2 options here, you can assign the permission straight to your DB user (as mentioned in the comment) or you can grant permission on a certificate, which might give you better control in a production environment.
I have an Oracle DB and I am using the system username. Using C# I created a few tables using the system username/password. When I log into sql developer and view the privileges on that table, it does not show the system user (which has a dba role and a MGMT_USER role) as having select/insert/update/delete permissions (or any permissions for that matter).
"You may not GRANT/REVOKE privileges to/from yourself"
Why does my admin user not have access to these tables and how do I get it?
What #TenG said - you can't grant privs on objects you own to yourself - you have those privs inherently as the OWNER.
More importantly, DO NOT use the SYSTEM account to create objects, especially don't create them IN the SYSTEM schema.
Use SYSTEM to create your application user, log in as THAT user, and THEN create your objects.
In Oracle, being the owner of the means you have implicit grants on the tables.
No need to grant privs to yourself on your own objects.
Our SQL administrator is currently ill and in the hospital however we have an upcoming security audit from the SQL cluster. Therefore we would like to grant the security auditor now read only access so that he can see all settings (primary which DB has which settings and which users are created). But the auditor shouldn´t have any rights to access DB content. Could that be performed? If yes how?
As Per my understanding you are looking for this solution where you want only definition access to user not the data reader operation access.
If this is the case then You can do it using GRANT Schema Permissions (Transact-SQL)
The VIEW DEFINITION permission lets a user see the metadata of the securable on which the permission is granted. However, VIEW DEFINITION permission does not confer access to the securable itself. For example, a user that is granted only VIEW DEFINITION permission on a table can see metadata related to the table in the sys.objects catalog view. However, without additional permissions such as SELECT or CONTROL, the user cannot read data from the table.

I have 2 database users called SQLUser1 and SQLUser2. How can I grant INSERT permission to SQLUser2 at database level using SQLUser1?
After reading about database membership roles, I think I can achieve the solution by playing with memberships of SQLUser1. Can it be solved by giving db_securityadmin and db_accessadmin to SQLUser1?How can I control permissions of one user by another user in database level?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,

You must grant all/specific privilege to SQLUser1 with grant option as sa (sys admin or other higher privileged user). Then SQLUser1 will become eligible to grant privilege to SQLUser2 as outlined below
GRANT ALL TO SQLUser1 WITH GRANT OPTION
You need not to assign ALL privilege to SQLUser1. Even SQLUser1 can have only INSERT permission but WITH GRANT OPTION make him eligible to grant the same permission to other user.
Then as SQLUser1 grant specific privilege to SQLUser2
GRANT INSERT TO SQLUser2
You can do the above mentioned steps using GUI (SSMS) as well.
For more information on GRANT see HERE
you need to use a user which is db_owner.
Select the user2 and click Properties, then user mappings... using SQL Server Management Studio.
I create a schema and set schema owner on it.
what the owner can do as owner that a user with permission can't do?
why the schema need owner?
Unless designed by means of permissions being in place, by default there is little difference. I.e. on a stock SQL Server installation, the owner and a regular user would have similar permissions set up. The difference being that the owner cannot be dropped from the database, and normal users cannot revoke permissions or privileges from an owner.
From Microsoft Docs:
You cannot remove privileges from an object owner, and you cannot drop
users from a database if they own objects in it.
Things get more interesting once specific permissions have been set up, though. Imagine normal users are denied permission to read data from tables. The owner in that case would be able to see the data in table, while regular users would not.
