I have a SQL user that I gave explicit Execute permission for a specific stored procedure. This stored procedure contains a truncate statement. The user is unable to execute that procedure and receives the error:

Cannot find the object TableName because it does not exist or you do not have permissions.

If I alter the stored procedure to use Delete instead of truncate the user can execute the procedure.

What do I need to do to allow the user to execute this stored procedure, without giving the user more access than necessary?

    From MSDN:

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms177570.aspx

    “The minimum permission required is ALTER on table_name. TRUNCATE TABLE permissions default to the table owner, members of the sysadmin fixed server role, and the db_owner and db_ddladmin fixed database roles, and are not transferable. However, you can incorporate the TRUNCATE TABLE statement within a module, such as a stored procedure, and grant appropriate permissions to the module using the EXECUTE AS clause. For more information, see Using EXECUTE AS to Create Custom Permission Sets.”
