[SQL2000] permissions to use view based on tables from many databases

[Grzegorz Danowski]

Hi

I have two databases: Customers and Operations. In Customers database I have
made a view based on a few tables from both Customers and Operations (left
join - customers without any operations). In the same database (Customers) I
have created a stored procedure based on the view. Finally I'd like to give
to some users permission only to exec the stored procedure.

Have I to add the users to Customers? If yes, please describe me how to
limit the users privileges only to execution the stored procedure (no rights
to open tables or view from Customers).

Regards,
Grzegorz

Ps. I had sent the post on microsoft.public.sqlserver.security, but I had no
answer.

By default when you add a user they do not have any permissions to do
anything. So just make sure you don't add them to any of the server or
database roles. Then simply GRANT them execute permission on that sp.

Well, it works fine in situations when all tables are in the same database,
but it doesn't work when tables are in two databases. If user have no rights
to read source table from other database SQL Server shows error:
"SELECT permission denied on object 'CustomersData', database 'Customers',
owner 'dbo'."

Are the objects owned by the same owner in both db's? If so you may have to
specify rights on the other tables. Is Cross database Ownership chaining
turned on?

It is a in SQL that permission is check on the first called element i.e.
in case of stored procedure the there's a check made if the user has
the right to execute a procedure. Thus it's possiblie to allow a user to
execure a procedure and e.g. display a subset of data without allowing
to read tables content. Up to sp3 it was valid for the whole server.
From sp3 you've got to set cross-databse chaining explicitly.
