The SELECT permission was denied on the object 'Users', database 'XXX', schema 'dbo'

Question

I moved a database from SQL Server 2012 to Azure. I don't want to use the user master, so I created a user test. This is what I did for database XXX on Azure:

create user test from login test with default_schema=[dbo]

exec sp_addrolemember 'db_owner','test'

I checked, and the database objects I am interested in are all in the schema dbo. The table Users is in the schema dbo.

The connection string in my web project has test as the login. It produces the error message:

The SELECT permission was denied on the object 'Users', database 'XXX', schema 'dbo'

What does the error message mean and what can I do to let user test access the database XXX?

Answer 1

Check this syntax for granting the select permission:

USE YourDB;

GRANT SELECT ON dbo.functionName TO UserName;

If you wish, you can learn Learn Azure step by step or join Azure Administrator certification.

I think i had to uncheck 'db_denydatareader' and 'db_denydatawriter'. Thanks Shubham.

This worked for me. Thank you.

Answer 2

I think the problem is with the user having denied privileges. This error comes when the user which you have created does not have enough privileges to access your tables in the database. You should have to grant the privilege to the user to get what you want.

GRANT the user-specific authorities such as SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE on tables in that database.

Answer 3

try following the steps given below

•     Start SQL Management Studio.
•     Expand the Server Node (in the 'Object Explorer').
•     Expand the Databases Node and then expand the specific Database which you are trying to access using the specific user.
•     Expand the Users node under the Security node for the database.
•     Right click the specific user and click 'properties'. You will get a dialog box.
•     Make sure the user is a member of the db_owner group and other required changes using the view.

Be careful about what you are supposed to put into the db_owner database role.
