Modifying database roles

Use the Data Object editor to modify privileges for roles.

Before you begin

Before you modify database roles, you must create a connection to a database.

Procedure

To modify database roles:

  1. Right-click a role in the Data Source Explorer (or the Object List for products that include this view), and select Alter.
  2. Modify the privileges for the role in the Data Object Properties section of the editor.
  3. 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. The Data Output view displays the results, including any errors that occurred. To view the changed properties for a role, highlight the role in the explorer and open the Properties view.
