The last permission
assignment we look at is the object level. SSMS enables you to select a
specific object instance in the Object Explorer and assign permissions
to it. This method allows you to navigate to the object you want via
the Object Explorer tree and assign permissions accordingly. Figure 9 shows the Object Explorer tree expanded to the Stored Procedures node. A specific stored procedure has been right-clicked, and the Properties option has been selected.
The Properties window
has a page dedicated to permissions. You can select the Permissions
page and then select the users or roles you want to add for the
specific object, such as a stored procedure. Figure 10 shows the Permissions page with a user named Chris
added to the Users or Roles window at the top of the page. The bottom
portion of the page shows explicit permissions for the user Chris, which includes a DENY permission on the stored procedure selected.
Note
The
methods described here for managing permissions in SSMS are by no means
the only ways you can manage permissions in SSMS. You will find that
the assignment of permissions pervades SSMS and that SSMS allows you to
assign permissions in many different ways. The point to keep in mind is
that database roles, application roles, schemas, and other objects in
the security model all have similar methods for assigning permissions.
