What permissions for Data Collection

  • Does anyone know what level of permissions are needed to enable the user to see Data Collection under Management? I need to request this permission and the DBA won't know.

    When you encounter a problem, if the solution isn't readily evident go back to the start and check your assumptions.

  • Adding a reply because I've found the answer and someone else might need it too.

    dc_admin

    This is found in the msdb database where the stats are stored.

    There are other levels of permission too.

    dc_operator

    dc_proxy

    Details can be found here:

    and here (posted since this is where I first found the term to search for)

    These are useful for anyone running Data Collection that shouldn't have full admin rights on the machine.
