    Hello experts,

    A user who is in the db_owner role for a database reported that he is getting this error:

    Msg 229, Level 14, State 5, Procedure ReportProc, Line 1 [Batch Start Line 1]

    The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object...

    Does anyone know why EXECUTE would fail for an owner of the database? I assume it is my ignorance and that db_owner does not automatically get EXECUTE permissions on all stored procedures, but I am not sure.

    Thanks for any help,

    webrunner

    Well does that user have an explicit deny execute permissions?

    Thanks, ZZartin,

    I don't see any DENY entries for this database user. I used this query from another SSC forum post (replacing 'someUser' of course):

    SELECT *

    FROM sys.database_permissions

    WHERE grantee_principal_id = USER_ID('someUser');

    AND state_desc = 'DENY';

    Thanks again,

    PS The user is now also reporting that he can't view object definitions or find/select from a table.

    I can see the SQL login in the db_owner group, so I have no idea what is happening here. Could it be a an issue with the SIDs (even though the mapping and checkbox are there in the GUI)?

    Thanks for any help,

    PS I think this was an issue where the user name was a SQL login but also had a corresponding Windows login, so may be just confusion between the two. Will let you know.

    EDIT: Yes, it was a login confusion issue. Which is a relief, because it was starting to drive me crazy.
