Define Permissions for an Object in a SQL Server Property Editor

You can define permissions for certain SQL Server objects using the Permission tab in the object's property editor. The Permission tab lets you create, edit, or delete permissions for a selected object. For example, if you click the Permission tab in the SQL Server Assembly Editor, any permissions that you create, edit, or delete affects the selected assembly in that editor.

  1. Open the property editor for the object for which you want to define permissions, and select the object in the Navigation Grid.
  2. Click the Permission tab and work with the following options:

    Note: Use the toolbar on this tab to create a new permission, delete a selected permission, or open the SQL Server Permission Editor to work with permission properties.
