I have a sproc that verifies whether the caller is authorized to call this

  • 0

I have a sproc that verifies whether the caller is authorized to call this sproc with given params. In case when the caller is not authorized, I want to RAISERROR with ACCESS DENIED error number. Now, it cannot be error number 10011 (ACCESS DENIED in sys.messages), because the error number has to be greater than 50000. I don’t want to add the same messages (english and localized texts as well) using sp_addmessage sproc just to recreate the same ACCESS DENIED error. What’s the right way to do this?

EDIT: since required SQL code was supposed to be compatible with SQL Azure, I ended up calling RAISERROR with no error number and checking for default 50,000 error code in code behind (in SQL Azure there is currently no support for sp_addmessage and sys.messages).

    You can’t do this as what you want to raise is not an Access denied error, but rather an Access denied with these parameters error.
    Hence you need to create a custom error and raise that.

    If you want the “real” access denied error it is a matter of revoking exec rights on the procedure.
