How to hide objects (sp, views, tables) from a user?

    Hi,

    I have a user that I want to give SELECT permissios to only a couple of tables. The database contains many tables, sps and views. I do not want him to see any of these objects except the those two tables.

    I used SSMS to acheive this result for table objects. I did it by using Properties dialog of each table. It is very time consuming task. The number of sps and views is much bigger than number of tables in the database. It is very hard to do it one object at a time.

    Can someone provide me a sample script to deny a user permissons of all types (to hide them from his view in SSMS) for objects of type Stored Procedures and Views? The server is 2k5.

    Any help is highly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    you want to use a query to generate the commands for you, based ont he metadata.

    i just tested this: create user/login [Noobie];

    ran the results of the script below.

    logged in as that user, and with Object Explorer, could not see views or procs/functions, but could still see the tables.

    /*--results

    name (No column name)

    VW_BUDGETS_APPLICATION DENY VIEW DEFINITION ON [VW_BUDGETS_APPLICATION] TO SomeRole

    VW_FGSFUNITAFT4 DENY VIEW DEFINITION ON [VW_FGSFUNITAFT4] TO SomeRole

    VW_BUDGETS_AWARD DENY VIEW DEFINITION ON [VW_BUDGETS_AWARD] TO SomeRole

    */

    select name,'DENY VIEW DEFINITION ON ' + QUOTENAME(name) + ' TO SomeRole '

    from sys.objects

    where type_desc IN('VIEW',

    'SQL_STORED_PROCEDURE',

    'AGGREGATE_FUNCTION',

    'SQL_INLINE_TABLE_VALUED_FUNCTION',

    'SQL_TABLE_VALUED_FUNCTION',

    'SQL_SCALAR_FUNCTION')

    Thank you very much for the code.

    The tables are not visible but, I can still see the data by select query.

    How can I change in

    I the following code possible

    select name,'DENY SELECT DEFINITION ON ' + QUOTENAME(name) + ' TO VirtualOfficeReport '

    from sys.objects

    where type_desc IN('USER_TABLE',

    'SQL_STORED_PROCEDURE',

    'AGGREGATE_FUNCTION',

    'SQL_INLINE_TABLE_VALUED_FUNCTION',

    'SQL_TABLE_VALUED_FUNCTION',

    'SQL_SCALAR_FUNCTION')

    This seems backwards to me. When you build the user the first time, it should have no privs other than PUBLIC. Then grant individual privs. Better yet, make a DB role with the correct privs to the individual objects and then grant membership to that role.

    You should also consider the idea of using Windows Authenticated Groups and Users.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

    i would guess your user is a sysadmin, by mistake or due to mutliple roles.

    easy to check:

    select IS_SRVROLEMEMBER('sysadmin','mydomain\lowell')
