Grant Method (StoredProcedure, UserDefinedFunction)

SQL-DMO

Syntax

object.Grant( Privilege , GranteeNames , [ GrantGrant ] , [ AsRole ] )

Parts

object

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

Privilege

Long integer that specifies one or more stored procedure permissions as described in Settings.

GranteeNames

SQL-DMO multistring listing users or roles.

GrantGrant

When TRUE, the grantee(s) specified are granted the ability to execute the GRANT statement referencing the stored procedure. When FALSE (default), the ability to extend permission is not granted.

AsRole

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT Grant(
SQLDMO_PRIVILEGE_TYPE iPrivileges,
SQLDMO_LPCSTR GranteeNames,
BOOL GrantGrant = FALSE,
SQLDMO_LPCSTR AsRole = NULL);

Settings

Set Privilege using these SQLDMO_PRIVILEGE_TYPE values.

Constant	Value	Description
SQLDMOPriv_AllObjectPrivs	63	Grant all applicable object permissions
SQLDMOPriv_Execute	16	Grant the execute permission on the referenced stored procedure

Remarks

When a user is a member of more than a single role, the user can have permission to grant access to a stored procedure under one role and not under another. In this case, SQL Server security mechanisms prevent execution of the Grant method on the StoredProcedure object that references that stored procedure. Use the AsRole argument to specify the role under which permission to execute the grant exists.

Note  Granting permissions to database users and roles using the Grant method of the StoredProcedure object requires appropriate permissions. The SQL Server login used for SQLServer object connection must be granted the ability to execute GRANT that references the stored procedure, the owner of the stored procedure, or a member of a role with greater permissions.
