run ssis package from an other user account of same domain

  • hello all,

    i need some urgent help of you people....

    i have created an ssis package which is simply extracting data from database and after applying some data formation tasks it send the data to excel sheet.

    i want to know that how can my colleague execute the task when i am not available to execute it by using his own user account on the same machine.

    i am not talking about the sql server job agent.

    waiting for your urgent reply. 🙂

    thanks in advance.

  • To start, check the package protection level. It's probably set to 'EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey'. You'll need a different level for others to be able to execute it.

  • thanks for your prompt response.

    can you please tell me where can i find the security setting???

  • Open the package. Right click anywhere on the background (not on a task). Select 'Properties'. You'll find the protection level in the Security section.

    For further information on protection levels see:

  • thx. got it.

    what do you suggest which option i have to select to allow other user to execute my packages from there own user accounts?

  • Check the technet article I referred to. You'll have to decide what level works best for your needs.

  • i a have checked it all but none is full filing my requirements. i just want that any user can access and execute my package from his/her own user account with out any security. in short it should be available to all.

    please help me i need it urgent.....!

    thank you so much kl25 for your cooperation. 🙂

  • You're going to have to deal with the protection level if you want others to use the package.

  • One possible way around this is to create a SQL Agent job which runs the package and then to allow the user to kick off that job, rather than the package itself.


  • Good suggestion. I was limiting my thinking to file system storage with users opening the package to run it.
