[ GrantGrant ] , [ AsRole ] )

Parts

object

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

Privilege

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

GranteeNames

SQL-DMO multistring listing users or roles.

ColumnNames

SQL-DMO multistring listing column names within the table or view. When used, the specified privilege is extended only to the columns named.

GrantGrant

AsRole

String that identifies a role to which the connected user belongs as described in Remarks.

Prototype (C/C++)

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

Settings

Set Privilege using these SQLDMO_PRIVILEGE_TYPE values.

Constant	Value	Description
SQLDMOPriv_AllObjectPrivs	63	Grant all permissions on the table
SQLDMOPriv_Delete	8	Grant permission to execute the DELETE statement referencing the table
SQLDMOPriv_Insert	2	Grant permission to execute the INSERT statement referencing the table
SQLDMOPriv_References	32	Grant permission to reference the table in statements implementing declarative referential integrity
SQLDMOPriv_Select	1	Grant permission to execute the SELECT statement referencing the table
SQLDMOPriv_Update	4	Grant permission to execute the UPDATE statement referencing the table

Remarks

When a user is a member of more than a single role, the user can have permission to grant access to a table or view under one role and not under another. In this case, SQL Server security mechanisms prevent execution of the Grant method on the Table or View object referencing the database object. Use the AsRole argument to specify the role under which permission to execute the grant exists.

For more information about setting multistring parameters, see Using SQL-DMO Multistrings.

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