Arguments

permission
Is the name of a permission. The valid mappings of permissions to securables are described in the "Remarks" section, later in this topic.

ON FULLTEXT CATALOG ::full-text_catalog_name
Specifies the full-text catalog on which the permission is being granted. The scope qualifier :: is required.

ON FULLTEXT STOPLIST ::full-text_stoplist_name
Specifies the full-text stoplist on which the permission is being granted. The scope qualifier :: is required.

database_principal
Specifies the principal to which the permission is being granted. One of the following:

database user
database role
application role
database user mapped to a Windows login
database user mapped to a Windows group
database user mapped to a certificate
database user mapped to an asymmetric key
database user not mapped to a server principal.

GRANT OPTION
Indicates that the principal will also be given the ability to grant the specified permission to other principals.

AS granting_principal
Specifies a principal from which the principal executing this query derives its right to grant the permission. One of the following:

Remarks

FULLTEXT CATALOG Permissions

A full-text catalog is a database-level securable contained by the database that is its parent in the permissions hierarchy. The most specific and limited permissions that can be granted on a full-text catalog are listed in the following table, together with the more general permissions that include them by implication.

Full-text catalog permission	Implied by full-text catalog permission	Implied by database permission
CONTROL	CONTROL	CONTROL
TAKE OWNERSHIP	CONTROL	CONTROL
ALTER	CONTROL	ALTER ANY FULLTEXT CATALOG
REFERENCES	CONTROL	REFERENCES
VIEW DEFINITION	CONTROL	VIEW DEFINITION

FULLTEXT STOPLIST Permissions

A full-text stoplist is a database-level securable contained by the database that is its parent in the permissions hierarchy. The most specific and limited permissions that can be granted on a full-text stoplist are listed in the following table, together with the more general permissions that include them by implication.

Full-text stoplist permission	Implied by full-text stoplist permission	Implied by database permission
ALTER	CONTROL	ALTER ANY FULLTEXT CATALOG
CONTROL	CONTROL	CONTROL
REFERENCES	CONTROL	REFERENCES
TAKE OWNERSHIP	CONTROL	CONTROL
VIEW DEFINITION	CONTROL	VIEW DEFINITION

Permissions

The grantor (or the principal specified with the AS option) must have either the permission itself with GRANT OPTION, or a higher permission that implies the permission being granted.

If using the AS option, these additional requirements apply.

AS granting_principal	Additional permission required
Database user	IMPERSONATE permission on the user, membership in the db_securityadmin fixed database role, membership in the db_owner fixed database role, or membership in the sysadmin fixed server role.
Database user mapped to a Windows login	IMPERSONATE permission on the user, membership in the db_securityadmin fixed database role, membership in the db_owner fixed database role, or membership in the sysadmin fixed server role.
Database user mapped to a Windows group	Membership in the Windows group, membership in the db_securityadmin fixed database role, membership in the db_owner fixed database role, or membership in the sysadmin fixed server role.
Database user mapped to a certificate	Membership in the db_securityadmin fixed database role, membership in the db_owner fixed database role, or membership in the sysadmin fixed server role.
Database user mapped to an asymmetric key	Membership in the db_securityadmin fixed database role, membership in the db_owner fixed database role, or membership in the sysadmin fixed server role.
Database user not mapped to any server principal	IMPERSONATE permission on the user, membership in the db_securityadmin fixed database role, membership in the db_owner fixed database role, or membership in the sysadmin fixed server role.
Database role	ALTER permission on the role, membership in the db_securityadmin fixed database role, membership in the db_owner fixed database role, or membership in the sysadmin fixed server role.
Application role	ALTER permission on the role, membership in the db_securityadmin fixed database role, membership in the db_owner fixed database role, or membership in the sysadmin fixed server role.

Object owners can grant permissions on the objects they own. Principals with CONTROL permission on a securable can grant permission on that securable.

Grantees of CONTROL SERVER permission, such as members of the sysadmin fixed server role, can grant any permission on any securable in the server. Grantees of CONTROL permission on a database, such as members of the db_owner fixed database role, can grant any permission on any securable in the database. Grantees of CONTROL permission on a schema can grant any permission on any object within the schema.

Examples

A. Granting permissions to a full-text catalog

The following example grants Ted the CONTROL permission on the full-text catalog ProductCatalog.

GRANT CONTROL  
    ON FULLTEXT CATALOG :: ProductCatalog  
    TO Ted ;

B. Granting permissions to a stoplist

The following example grants Mary the VIEW DEFINITION permission on the full-text stoplist ProductStoplist.

GRANT VIEW DEFINITION  
    ON FULLTEXT STOPLIST :: ProductStoplist  
    TO Mary ;
