Granting Access to a Database Object

SQL Server 2012

SQL Server 2005

As an administrator, you can execute the SELECT from the Products table and the vw_Names view, and execute the pr_Names procedure; however, Mary cannot. To grant Mary the necessary permissions, use the GRANT statement.

Procedure Title

Execute the following statement to give Mary the EXECUTE permission for the pr_Names stored procedure.
Copy
GRANT EXECUTE ON pr_Names TO Mary; GO

In this scenario, Mary can only access the Products table by using the stored procedure. If you want Mary to be able to execute a SELECT statement against the view, then you must also execute GRANT SELECT ON vw_Names TO Mary. To remove access to database objects, use the REVOKE statement.

Note
If the table, the view, and the stored procedure are not owned by the same schema, granting permissions becomes more complex.

About GRANT

You must have EXECUTE permission to execute a stored procedure. You must have SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE permissions to access and change data. The GRANT statement is also used for other permissions, such as permission to create tables.
