SYMPTOMS
Managing permissions for a group by means of the By User tab (found in SQL Enterprise Manager by clicking Permissions on the Object menu) will fail for user-owned tables with the following message:
You cannot resolve the problem by closing and reopening SQL Enterprise Manager or choosing Refresh.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do either of the following:
- Assign permission by means of the By Object tab.
- Use the GRANT statement to assign rights to the table.
You can execute the following cursor in the database to assign permissions to all tables in the database. You can edit the cursor to narrow down the rights granted or revoked, or the tables affected.
set nocount on declare @tbl_name varchar(30) declare @owner varchar(30) declare @str varchar(255) declare tbl_cur cursor for select o.name, u.name from sysobjects o, sysusers u where o.type = 'U' and o.id > 18 and o.uid = u.uid open tbl_cur fetch tbl_cur into @tbl_name, @owner while @@fetch_status <> - 1 begin select @str = 'Grant select, insert, update, delete, references on ' + @owner + '.' + @tbl_name + ' to public' EXEC (@str) select @str fetch tbl_cur into @tbl_name, @owner end close tbl_cur deallocate tbl_cur
