View diagram without db_owner permission

  • Hi All,

    I have trouble using diagram in SQL Server 2005.

    Here is the scenario:

    I have a database with 2 different database designers. I didn’t give them db_owner role but they are the member of the following roles:

    -db_datareader

    -db_datawriter

    -db_ddladmin

    -db_securityadmin

    Now when designer 1 creates a diagram the other designer (designer 2) can’t view it. I try to give some permission on DBO Schema such as Select or View Definition but no use.

    Please provide me help to manage this problem.

    Thanks in advance,

    Sani.

  • Hello,

    You may be stuck with this one as according to BOL 2005: “Although any user with access to a database can create a diagram once it has been created, the only users who can see it are the diagram's creator and any member of the db_owner role.”

  • Dear John Marsh,

    Thank you for your reply.

    I have checked the comment in BOL 2005 but I think It might be a way to handle these kind of permission as SQL Server 2005 implement more granularity in term of security.

    Any other comment regarding this issue will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Sani.
