This afternoon I was reviewing the security for a user in my SQL Server, in SQL Server Management Studio. I opened the Database User’s Properties dialog, and went to the Securables section.

As I was cycling through the tables and stored procedures that this particular user had access to, I noticed that one of the data tables had the the Update option checked in an intermediate state. What does that mean? You can either update a row, or you can’t. There is no in-between. I’ve included an image for reference. I would just fully check this option and save it but I’d rather not screw with the DB if this serves a worthwhile purpose.

    I believe that means that that permission has been inherited and wasn’t explicitly set for that user.

    The GRANT statement can assign
    permissions to a group or role that
    can be inherited by database users.

    I’m trying to find something that specifically spells out that’s what the checkbox looks like in the above situation.
