Use the Data Object editor to modify privileges to authorization
IDs, such as users or roles.
Procedure
To modify privileges to authorization IDs:
- In the Data Source Explorer (or
the Object List for products that include this view), browse
to the object that you want to alter.
- Open the Data Object Editor using
one of the following methods:
- In the Data Source Explorer, right-click the authorization
ID, and select Alter.
- In the
Object List, right-click the authorization ID, and select Manage
Privileges
The Data Object editor opens. Note: Other menu actions
on this object and its children in the explorer view, such as Refresh, Drop,
or Generate DDL, are disabled while the editor
is open.
- For data servers that support roles, click the Roles tab
to grant or revoke role authorizations. Use the grid and
the toolbar buttons to add, modify, or revoke role authorizations.
Press F1 for additional information.
- Click the Privileges tab
to modify individual privileges that are granted to this authorization
ID.
- Expand the Impacted Objects section
of the editor, and select impacted objects from the tree to include
in the generated DDL script.
The objects in the tree
are potentially impacted by changes to the object that you are altering.
- Expand the DDL section
of the editor, and click Preview DDL.
If
you make additional changes in the Data Object Properties or Impacted
Objects sections, you must click Preview DDL again
to refresh the generated script.
You cannot type directly in
the DDL section of the editor. If you want to modify the generated
DDL script, you can click Open with SQL editor to
open the script in the SQL editor, where you can make changes and
save the script to an
existing data project. You can also use this option to save your
changes to an SQL script that you can run later.
Results
The generated DDL script is run on the database,
and the data object and other impacted objects are modified according
to the changes that you made in the editor. The Data Output view displays
the results, including any errors that occurred. You can view the
changes in each data object by highlighting the object in the explorer
and opening the Properties view.
