ListDatabasePermissions Method

This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.

The ListDatabasePermissions method returns a SQLObjectList object that enumerates database maintenance privilege for one or more Microsoft SQL Server security accounts.

Syntax

object
.ListDatabasePermissions( [ Privilege ] )asSQLObjectList

Parts

  • object
    Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.

  • Privilege
    Optional. Constrains the list to members that enumerates database maintenance statement permissions as described in Settings.

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT ListDatabasePermissions(
LPSQLDMOPERMISSIONLIST* ppList,
SQLDMO_PRIVILEGE_TYPE lPrivilegeTypes = SQLDMOPriv_AllDatabasePrivs);

Settings

When setting the Privilege argument to override default behavior, indicate more than a single statement execution permission by combining values using an OR logical operator. Set Privilege by using these SQLDMO_PRIVILEGE_TYPE values.

Remarks

The ListDatabasePermissions method enumerates statement execution permission explicitly granted, and is maintained for compatibility with previous versions of SQL Server.

SQL Server server and database roles assign privilege by implicitly granting statement execution permissions. Implicit grants are not enumerated by the ListDatabasePermissions method.

For example, a user may be a member of the db_backupoperator role. The user has permission to execute a Transact-SQL BACKUP statement targeting either the database or its transaction log. The user will not be enumerated by the ListDatabasePermissions method as the grant is implicit in the role.
