Minimum database permissions required for the user running SQL Doc
Category: Security & data protection
Date: 04 Dec 2008
Product: SQL Doc
When producing documentation for a database using SQL Doc, the user connecting to the database will need to be granted permissions to the database and its objects.
SQL Doc uses the SQL Compare engine, so the permissions required are the same as SQL Compare. These permissions are documented elsewhere on the Red Gate website:
http://www.red-gate.com/supportcenter/Content?c=SQL_Compare%5cknowledgebase%5cSC_Permissions_Required.htm&p=SQL%20Compare
In addition to the above, the user SQL Doc connects to the database as will need to have modify permissions to the database to be able to add the descriptions, specifically EXEC rights to the system stored procedures sp_addextendedproperty, fn_listextendedproperties, and sp_dropextendedproperty.
