Question

I have a SQL Server 2000 database with around a couple of hundred tables. There are several SQL user accounts that can access this database but each one has different permissions granted on tables in the DB.

How do I create a script to give me a report of the permissions granted to a particular user. i.e. to generate something like:

Table      SELECT   DELETE   UPDATE    INSERT    ALTER -----      ------   ------   ------    ------    ----- Invoices   Yes      No       Yes       Yes       No Orders     Yes      Yes      Yes       Yes       No Customers  Yes      No       Yes       Yes       No 

and so on. It’s Friday, my SQL-fu is low today and I have a million other things to do before getting finished here today and if someone had a handy script to do this already then I would be eternally grateful 🙂

Answer 1

Select TABLE_NAME, PRIVILEGE_TYPE from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_PRIVILEGES  where GRANTEE = @username 

This will work in SQL server 2000/2005/2008
