Permissions needed for DTS Package "Administrator"?

  • We have several production DTS packages. The company has decided that in the event the DBA is not available, and a package fails to run successfully, that we need a backup person (not a DBA, most likely a knowledgeable developer) who can access/edit/run select DTS packages.

    Does any know of any graduated access permissions for administering DTS packages? Or do we have to make that person "sa" equivalent?

    TIA,

  • You will find in the msdb database a role called TargetServersRole. By granting exec permissions to certain system stored procs, such as sp_start_job, you can make the user a member of the role and create a job for the DTS package for the user to execute in the situation where the DTS package failed.
