DDLadmin has privilege's to alter the objects like schema, permissions. But my question is, does db_dlladmin has permission to read (db_datareader) and write (db_datawriter) in database.
Does db_datareader and db_datawriter are subsets of DDLadmin role?
By security reason, the Microsoft SQL Server db_ddladmin only can ALTER, CREATE and DROP. It cannot SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE nor MERGE or TRUNCATE.
Demo...
CREATE USER USR_DDL WITHOUT LOGIN;
GO
ALTER ROLE db_ddladmin ADD MEMBER USR_DDL
GO
EXECUTE AS USER = 'USR_DDL'
SELECT *
FROM anytable
Error wil result !

I want that a user can create a database, but when I execute this:
GRANT CREATE DATABASE TO rmedrano
I get this error:
CREATE DATABASE permission can only be granted in the master database.
How can I do this?
Members of the dbcreator fixed server role can create, alter, drop,
and restore any database.

I want to create three SQL Server database roles.
That can CREATE, ALTER and EXECUTE all stored procedures in database
That can only EXECUTE all stored procedures in database
That have no access to any stored procedures in database
I have created the roles, but I'm facing issues while REVOKE their permissions.
I have executed
REVOKE CREATE PROCEDURE TO [ROLE NAME]
to revoke the permissions to create the procedure and it executed successfully.
But I got error while executing this statement:
Error: Incorrect syntax near 'ALTER'.
I am very new to SQL server role rights so I might be completely wrong with my approach.
Please guide me to achieve my goal in correct way.
Thanks
From the documentation Create a Stored Procedure:
Permissions
Requires CREATE PROCEDURE permission in the database and ALTER
permission on the schema in which the procedure is being created.
Therefore just giving CREATE PROCEDURE on it's own won't allow you to create a procedure. In fact, giving a ROLE the CREATE PROCEDURE permission, and not ALTER on the schema will result in the below error:
The specified schema name "dbo" either does not exist or you do not have permission to use it.
There is no ALTER PROCEDURE permissions, therefore, for a member of a ROLE to be able to both CREATE and ALTER a PROCEDURE you would need to do:
GRANT CREATE PROCEDURE TO YourRole;
GRANT ALTER ON SCHEMA::dbo TO YourRole; --Replace with appropriate schema name
This, however, will also enable to user to ALTER anyprocedures on said schema. Ut also enable those in the role to ALTER other objects on the schema as well (such as tables) though.
If your ROLE has permissions to ALTER the procedures and you want to remove that, you would need to run the below:
REVOKE ALTER ON SCHEMA::dbo TO YourRole;
This will, as mentioned, also revoke their ability to ALTER any other objects on said schema.
Remember, REVOKE doesn't DENY, it simply means that the USER won't inherited that permission from that ROLE any more. If the USER has the permission from a different ROLE, or they have the permission themselves, they will be able to continue to use the permission. If you must stop a USER from performing an action, regardless of any other permissions, they must have the DENY permission.
1) That can CREATE, ALTER and EXECUTE all stored procedures in
database
That's the db_owner role, or the CONTROL permission on the database. Anyone with all those permissions can escalate their own privileges to a database-level admin. So don't try.
2) That can only EXECUTE all stored procedures in database
GRANT EXECUTE TO [SomeRole]
3) That have no access to any stored procedures in database
A user has no access to any stored procedure unless you grant permissisions or add them to a role that has permissions.
I've created a readonly user ala:
(in master)
CREATE LOGIN reader WITH password='YourPWD';
CREATE USER readerUser FROM LOGIN reader;
(in target db)
CREATE USER readerUser FROM LOGIN reader;
EXEC sp_addrolemember 'db_datareader', 'readerUser';
This works well in denying the user access to do anything but read from tables in the target db.
However it still allows them to delete the target db from management studio.
How can I deny them db deletion rights?
Can you clarify what you mean by DB deletion rights? Do you mean DROP the database? If so, the permission for DROP DATABASE is in master. So ensure that the login is not part of the dbmanager role.
If you meant deleting data from tables then by default users in database do not have that permission unless you add them in roles like db_datawriter or db_owner or grant DELETE permission explicitly.
You can check permissions of user by doing something like:
execute as user = 'readerUser';
select * from fn_my_permissions (NULL, 'DATABASE');
revert;
go
I have a user who needs to rename a database. I could give dbcreator privileges, but this would allow the user to rename any database, and even create new ones.
So I tried to create a stored procedure that the user would call to do the job.
CREATE PROCEDURE SPMyRenameDB
WITH EXECUTE AS 'MySuperUser' -- MySuperUser is a SQL user with dbcreator permission
AS
ALTER DATABASE A MODIFY NAME = B
GO
I get an error :
The server principal "MySuperUser" is not able to access the database "A" under the current security context.
I tried with sp_renamedb, I get : User does not have permission to perform this action.
Even a simple SELECT statement to a table in database A is not allowed : The server principal "MySuperUser" is not able to access the database "A" under the current security context.
When I connect as MySuperUser and query the database A, it works as expected. (MySuperUser is a SQL user with dbCreator and sysAdmin privileges on the server).
I suspect that the "WITH EXECUTE AS" statement has some security restrictions that do not allow to use it outside of the current database.
The Stored Procedure is in a database (other than A and B) where the user has db_owner permissions.
Any suggestions ? I do not need to stick with my "WITH EXECUTE AS" approach. Anything that would do the trick is welcome.
Thanks,
Yves
Check ALTER DATABASE in MSDN -> Permissions
Requires ALTER permission on the database.
So just query as following
USE A
GO
GRANT ALTER TO 'someuser'
GO
User must be member of dbcreator server role. (MSDN documentation is wrong!).
I need to grant a db_datawriter before executing SqlBulkCopy and remove it after:
try
{
"EXEC [db_mod].[sys].[sp_addrolemember] N'db_datawriter', N'my_user'" // via SqlCommand
bulk.WriteToServer(table);
}
finally
{
"EXEC [db_mod].[sys].[sp_droprolemember] N'db_datawriter', N'my_user'" // via another SqlCommand
}
but I'm getting an error:
User does not have permission to
perform this action.
How can I fix that?
Try using GRANT and REVOKE.
Wouldn't it be easier to just grant that user that runs the SqlBulkCopy (which inserts data into just exactly one temporary staging table) full rights on that single table only?
Something like:
GRANT ALL ON (temporaryTable) TO my_user
That should be sufficient to do the SqlBulkCopy operation.
In order to run the GRANT command, the user running that command must have the necessary permission to do so - see SQL Books Online on that topic (GRANT (Transact-SQL)).

MSDN sp_addrolemember tells you what rights are needed...
Membership in the db_owner fixed database role.
Membership in the db_securityadmin fixed database role.
Membership in the role that owns the role.
ALTER permission on the role
Practically, you'd need to be in the db_securityadmin role.
However, why not just persist INSERT/UPDATE rights via GRANT? The right to grant yourself rights implies enough privilege to not need any more rights...
