Tracking Permission Dependencies

[Barry H]

Hi All,

Is it possible to track the dependent objects of a particular user or role? Also is it possible to show server login's in SQL Dependency Tracker?

Thanks for your post.

Users and Roles are displayed as objects, so you will be able to see their dependencies in the diagram.

Server level logins are not included in the diagram as we only show objects at the object level within the database.

Hi,

Thanks for your response. I have had another look at this and it still doesn't appear to be doing what im after.

What I was looking for was to be able to add a user and all table, views, functions and SP and be able to see what objects that user has permissions to.

Hi Barry,

Sorry for the delay. I've looked into this and you're right.

Personally, I would have assumed it would show you the relationships between the users and the objects but it doesn't. I suppose the permissions aren't really dependencies as both objects can function without the other one.
