Great article. Used on a SSIS package for verifying addresses via the Melissa Data Contact Verify component against MS CRM contact addresses. Account running SQL agent did not have permissions to access data in the CRM db. This allowed me to setup a proxy with a known user and it worked like a champ.

I see. the password in credential has to be the correct account password. Sorry, but your admin has to inform you if the password has been changed.:-P

Thank you Grey Cat,I did what you told me to, but the package still fails.the only way i can avoid the failure is to change the 'credential' password under security of the database.I guess i did not make it clearI found that whenever the user's password is changed in the windows operating system, i have to change the passward in the SQL server credentials too otherwise it will fail the package scheduled under the Sql Agent jobs.My case is - one of our system administrators just went ahead changed the password without telling me and all my packages failed, i had to let him reverse back the password (or i could have just changed the password in SQL security - credentials)And I wanted to know if there is another way to avoid this troublesome. cheers,Min

Please check the ProtectionLevel of the SSIS package.If it's not DontSaveSensitive, change it to.Hope that helps.

One question for this:What if the credential's password get changed? I had been using one credential and created a proxy to run the SSIS package in SQL Agent jobs, but the job failed after the password for the account changed.any comments will be appreciated.cheers,Min

I don't think a group account without password will work this way. The originally purpose of doing that is to bypass different accounts that do not having access...

I have one question about this section: Enter the credential name - Enter the domain account, and password. Repeat the password in the 'Confirm password'. This account should have the right access to the application database.We use windows authentication to connect to the database. So if I put individual account, I can use network password. What if I need to add a group for credential, and the group doesn't have a network password. What should I put in password field?

The facet thing works only on SQL 2008.If you were to run it in SQL2005, you'll have to use runas along with other parameters

It is true that a sysadmin loin has the permission to read all database objects. But many applications use views to control the data access. For example, user logins are saved in a table, and grouped by permissions or positions. A view displays different employee data according to the current login. If the login is a department supervisor, then the view only return employees from this department. If the login is CEO, then it returns all employees. Or only if the login is HR user, the review returns salary, otherwise salary is null.This permission control has nothing to do with the database permission.If you know the database structure, you can run a query against tables instead of views. But unfortunately sometime purchased third party applications are not allowing you to know the inside of the database. And in most cases, the queries can be very complicated. To make it worse, after an upgrade, tables could be changed.

Short, sweet and to the point! My favorite type of article.I would also like an explanation as to how can sysadmin account not be able to read certain database tables?

"The ETLadmin account, which is a domain account that we use it to run SSIS packages, does not have the right permission to access views in that database even if it has sysadmin permission on that SQL Server instance."Could the author please explain this a bit further? How can a database user with sysadmin permissions on the instance not be able to read any data it wants? I admit that with only 4 years DBA experience I'm not a SQL Server guru, but I find it hard to believe that this is truely the case.
