I have created several new tables on a new database(Microsoft SQL server 2005). Now those tables are ready for client users to view through Access 2003 by using System DSN ODBC object (with SQL authentication). What I did was to create a Role and a schema in the database, and a login user for my SQL server default with my database and the schema name.
The problem is that clients not only can see tables I created but also system view objects in the database. I am not sure what should I do to setup a SQL login user, a schema and a role so that only my tables will be visible? Not sure why system view objects are visible to login users by default.
Another alternative way to clean up permissions I have right now. I did check some system view objects (a very long list). They all have permission with the schema I created some with public schema. Is there any way by using T-SQL script to view and then to delete permission associated with my schema for those system view objects? After that, I need to use similar scripts to add permission with my schema to the tables I created.
Well, by default, a new user will also be member of the "public" server and database role. The objects in the sys. and INFORMATION_SCHEMA schemas are visible to members of the public role.
You can either explicitly deny your own role access to those schemas, or you could remove the public role from your login user.

I'm running a SAP HANA database in HDI container and created a corresponding HDI Container admin. I would like to be able to grant users (for support purpose) access not to the whole schema, but only to a few selected tables. How to do it? All examples I found online look like this - and grant access only to a whole schema
CREATE ROLE SCHEMA_NAME.ROLE_NAME NO GRANT TO CREATOR;
GRANT SELECT ON SCHEMA SCHEMA_NAME TO ROLE_NAME;
I know there is an option to use .hdbrole file during deployment, where also object privileges can be written up, but it seems I would have to run deployment each time whenever I need to create a new role. And I would like to create these roles right from the SQL console. Is it possible? And if yes, how to do it?
By running the CREATE ROLE and GRANT commands in the SQL console you create catalog/runtime roles.
These cannot be transported to any other container or DB but only live in this very instance of the database.
Now, that is usually not what you want to have when dealing with HDI containers or containerized applications in general.
Creating schema objects on the fly commonly leads to operational challenges (who has access to what, where, when, why, how?) and should rather be avoided.
But, sure, you can simply connect to the container with any user that has appropriate permissions and run those commands. That includes the usual GRANT SELECT on <table_name> TO <role>; it doesn't have to be the whole schema.
I have a front application, where i can jump in to that database. now i want to create a database for the server because one server can have many databases, so if i am in that selected database called as abc, i can go ahead and create a another databse babyabc, but want that this babyabc should have all permissions and login information of the parent abc database.
is it possible to do in sql server, if yes how can i do it
for creating a database, i can do always as:
create database babyabc
Database Permissions are set at the database level. If you have two similar databases, you need to create the appropriate USER, ROLEs, etc in both of them.
If you have some which are needed on every database, and don't have permissions specific to User objects (which differ), you can create and set the permissions in the model database. Then any databases created after you've made those changes to the model database will have those permissions.
For example, you might have an AD group that you automatically want to be on the database, and have the db_datareader role. So you would do:
USE model;
GO
CREATE USER [StackOverflow\RegisteredUsers];
GO
ALTER ROLE db_datareader ADD MEMBER [StackOverflow\RegisteredUsers];
GO
Then, if you create a new database, that user will be in the new database, and have the db_datareader role.
I am not so into SQL Server and I have the following doubt: I have to require the creation of an user that can work on some databases. This user have to create\delete table, insert\delete records in these tables.
What type of permission have to be set for this user on these databases? Is dbowner ok to perform these operations? (in particular is very important that this user can create\delete tables) or am I missing something?
Just to understand first the benefits of using roles :
Roles are a part of the tiered security model:
Login security—Connecting to the server
Database security—Getting access to the database
Database objects—Getting access to individual database objects and
data**
Predefined database roles
You may need to create your own, but you have access to several predefined database roles:
db_owner: Members have full access.
db_accessadmin: Members can manage Windows groups and SQL Server
logins.
db_datareader: Members can read all data.
db_datawriter: Members can add, delete, or modify data in the tables.
db_ddladmin: allows a user to create, drop, or modify any objects within a database, regardless of who owns.
db_securityadmin: Members can modify role membership and manage
permissions.
db_bckupoperator: Members can back up the database.
db_denydatareader: Members can’t view data within the database.
db_denydatawriter: Members can’t change or delete data in tables or
views.
Fixed roles :
The fixed server roles are applied serverwide, and there are several predefined server roles:
SysAdmin: Any member can perform any action on the server.
ServerAdmin: Any member can set configuration options on the server.
SetupAdmin: Any member can manage linked servers and SQL Server
startup options and tasks.
Security Admin: Any member can manage server security.
ProcessAdmin: Any member can kill processes running on SQL Server.
DbCreator: Any member can create, alter, drop, and restore databases.
DiskAdmin: Any member can manage SQL Server disk files.
BulkAdmin: Any member can run the bulk insert command.
From the SQL Documentation:
Members of the db_owner fixed database role can perform all
configuration and maintenance activities on the database, and can also
drop the database in SQL Server.
Are you certain that is the right that you want to grant this user? It seems like a more restricted set of permissions would be more suitable for them.
For example, the roles db_ddladmin, db_datareader, and db_datawriter could be more suitable:
db_ddladmin:
Members of the db_ddladmin fixed database role can run any Data
Definition Language (DDL) command in a database.
db_datareader:
Members of the db_datareader fixed database role can read all data
from all user tables.
db_datawriter:
Members of the db_datawriter fixed database role can add, delete, or
change data in all user tables.
Alternatively, you can grant specific privileges to the user account against that database and it's user objects in order to restrict their access to the functionality subset you want.
I am looking for the best way to setup an Oracle database so that multiple roles can share a single schema with tables.
I would have, for example, several roles:
Application User
N Developer Users
DBA User
... future user types
I have been able to create groups, grant privileges to other schemas, and create a logon trigger to switch the schema on logon. However, users are not able to view tables through SQL Developer.
SQL Developer will only show the objects owned by the current user, not those that are owned by the session's current_schema setting, in the tree view unless you go to Other Users and choose the schema you're interested in. In order to see objects owned by other users, you're realistically going to have to navigate to the appropriate schema. If there are a large number of schemas in the database, you can right click on Other Users and create a filter that limits the set of users that are returned to just the schema you care about.
I am new to schema, roles and user management part in sql server. Till now I used to work with simple dbo schema but now after reading few articles I am intrested in creating schema for managing my tables in a folder fashion.
At present, I want to create a schema where i want to keep my tables that have same kind of functionality. When I tries to create a schema then I faces a problem while using query, permissions etc.
First of all i want to get used to of using schemas then only I want to explore it. But due to initial stages and work pressure as well i m not able to implement it yet.
What can i do to start using schema with default permissions as that of dbo.
Also let me know about creating roles and assigning roles on these schema. I want all this to be accessible by sa user itself at present.
What is the concept behind all these things
Basically
The schema has an owner
Objects in different schemas can access each other with no extra permissions if they have the same owner
Please see my question here: "SQL Server: How to permission schemas?" and RBarryYoung's enlightening answer...
