    Is there a script which will allow me to create ReadOnly user on sql server.

    This user should be able to read all the tables, its contents, stored procedures , functions (all the objects).

    It should also have access to execute all the stored procedures functions etc.

    thanks

    what you are asking is exactly the same, with one more privilege to the Role: you want them to read the text/definitions of the procedures, right?

    all you would do is add the VIEW ANY DEFINITION to the role you see in that example:

    GRANT VIEW ANY DEFINITION TO [ReallyReadOnly]
