The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'zzzzzz, database 'xxxxxx' schema 'yyyyyy', [duplicate]

Question

I'm having problems executing a function.

Here's what I did:

1. Create a function using SQL Server Management Studio. It was successfully created.
2. I then tried executing the newly created function and here's what I get:

The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'xxxxxxx', database 'zzzzzzz', schema 'dbo'.

Answer 1

Sounds like you need to grant the execute permission to the user (or a group that they a part of) for the stored procedure in question.

For example, you could grant access thus:

USE zzzzzzz;
GRANT EXEC ON dbo.xxxxxxx TO PUBLIC

Answer 2

Best solution that i found is create a new database role i.e.

CREATE ROLE db_executor;

and then grant that role exec permission.

GRANT EXECUTE TO db_executor;

Now when you go to the properties of the user and go to User Mapping and select the database where you have added new role,now new role will be visible in the Database role membership for: section

In SQL Server Management Studio, go to security->schema->dbo:

Double-click dbo, select the Permissions page, then click the "View database permissions" link in blue:

Select the user for whom you want to change permissions, and look for the "Execute" permission under the "explicit" tab:

Choose the appropriate permission by checking the appropriate box.

Answer 4

you need to run something like this

GRANT Execute ON [dbo].fnc_whatEver TO [domain\user]

Answer 5

This will work if you are trying to Grant permission to Users or roles.

Using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio:

1. Go to: Databases
2. Right click on dbo.my_database
3. Choose: Properties
4. On the left side panel, click on: Permissions
5. Select the User or Role and in the Name Panel
6. Find Execute in in permissions and checkmark: Grant,With Grant, or Deny

Answer 6

Giving such permission can be dangerous, especially if your web application uses that same username.

Now the web user (and the whole world wide web) also has the permission to create and drop objects within your database. Think SQL Injection!

I recommend granting Execute privileges only to the specific user on the given object as follows:

grant execute on storedProcedureNameNoquotes to myusernameNoquotes

Now the user myusernameNoquotes can execute procedure storedProcedureNameNoquotes without other unnecessary permissions to your valuable data.

Answer 7

You don't have the right to execute it, although you have enough permissions to create it.

Answer 8

If you have issues like the question ask above regarding the exception thrown when the solution is executed, the problem is permission, not properly granted to the users of that group to access the database/stored procedure. All you need do is to do something like what i have below, replacing mine with your database name, stored procedures (function)and the type of permission or role or who you are granting the access to.

USE [StableEmployee]
GO
GRANT EXEC ON dbo.GetAllEmployees TO PUBLIC

/****** Object: StoredProcedure [dbo].[GetAllEmployees] Script Date: 01/27/2016 16:27:27 ******/

SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
ALTER procedure [dbo].[GetAllEmployees]
as
Begin
Select EmployeeId, Name, Gender, City, DepartmentId
From tblEmployee

End

Answer 9

here is how to give permission for one user not public,

Direct Query:

Use MyDatabase Grant execute on [dbo].[My-procedures-name] to [IIS APPPOOL\my-iis-pool] Go

Answer 10

If you make this user especial for a specific database, then maybe you do not set it as db_owner in "user mapping" of properties
