Developer getting EXECUTE permission was denied error as below:
Msg 229, Level 14, State 5, Line 2
The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'myobject', database 'Mydb', schema 'Myschema'.
I tried to find the object in Mydb database but I did not find it. How to find that object, what it is and grant execute permission?

Mani I know you obfuscated the error, but i'll bet you an internet cookie that the procedure being called references a different database or different schema than what the procedure belongs to.

it sounds like ownership chaining is being broken to me.

for example, if dbo.myprocedure , which exists in the database [SandBox], references ANY OTHER database, the calling user will get the error you describe.the same can happen if it references a different schema, like [SandBox].Finance.Tablename instead of [SandBox].dbo.Tablename, but that's a little rarer to encounter in my experience; most places avoid multiple schemas.

If you cant see it you probably do not have access to it. You will need to get someone with db_owner or sysadmin or something like that to find the object if you can not find it. Then grant the developer access to run it.

USE AdventureWorks2012;

GRANT EXECUTE ON OBJECT::HumanResources.uspUpdateEmployeeHireInfo

TO Recruiting11;

If the error is happening because a proc is called inside another proc (or something like that) and you have permissions to see the proc, running this little code snippet might help:

EXECUTE sp_MSforeachdb @Command1 = 'SELECT DB_NAME() AS DatabaseName, name AS ProcName FROM sys.objects WHERE name = ''MyProc''';

This assumes the proc is on the same Instance, not being referenced by a linked server.
