Read only permissions for report writer


Read only permissions for report writer June Macleod

sql server msde:
I have an msde database (SQL Server 2000) with an web front end. I would
like to create an MS Access Project to allow certain users to create ad hoc
reports.

I have created a new login named Reporter and connected to the msde database
using this user. This user has dbreadonly permissions.

This works to a certain extent in that new reports can be created based on
existing tables. However, I would like the user to be able to create their
own select queries and cannot find a way to manage this. I recieve a
message saying the user needs 'Create Procedure' rights.

Can anyone tell me how I can let Reporter create their own queries but not
add/edit/delete any existing data?

Many thanks

June

hi June,
[quoted text, click to view]

if you are required to allow "CREATE PROC" statement you have to grant
membership to ddladmin database role but, with such a permission, Reporter
can even create new tables and of course access/modify their data..

better,
if you only are required to create procedures, you can grant that specific
permission to Reporte user like

GRANT CREATE PROCEDURE TO [Reporter]
