Use the Data Object editor to modify privileges to authorization
IDs, such as users or roles.
To modify privileges to authorization IDs:
- Expand a database connection in the Data Source Explorer.
- Expand the folders in the connection and browse to the authorization
ID (for example, a user or group) that you want to modify.
- Right-click the authorization ID, and click Alter.
- 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.
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 Data Source Explorer and opening the Properties
view.
