SQL Server Security: Security Admins

  • Article

As we mentioned before, Brian will be writing a column covering all facets of security. Turns out that there is so much to cover, he has agreed to write two columns per month! This article talks about the principle least privilege, why it doesn't always work, and some good info about removing the Builtin\Admin account.

SQL Server Security: The db_executor Role

  • Article

Brian will be writing a monthly column for us on SQL Security, definitely a hot topic these days! He starts off by discussing the need for a built in db_executor role and how to grant permissions manually to achieve the same effect. Terrific concept, as granting table access can lead to bad things! If there is a security topic you'd like to see more info on, post a note to the article or email us at articles@sqlservercentral.com.
