Simple Grants Cursor Script

Here’s a simple cursor script that will look for User objects and grant access to a user or group. The script could also be adapted to perform a REVOKE command rather than a GRANT privilege. It’s really an admin tool, but you could use it to trigger or limit a Database user’s application privileges. Really you would want to first examine the Application Role set-up in SQL 2000 to promote and demote a SQL User’s privileges.

Here’s an example to demonstrate adding permissions to a database user under SQL 7/2000:

GRANT

    { ALL [ PRIVILEGES ] | permission [ ,…n ] }

    {

        [ ( column [ ,…n ] ) ] ON { table | view }

        | ON { table | view } [ ( column [ ,…n ] ) ]

        | ON { stored_procedure | extended_procedure }

        | ON { user_defined_function }

    }

TO security_account [ ,…n ]

[ WITH GRANT OPTION ]

[ AS { group | role } ] 

and one for performing a revoke command:

REVOKE [ GRANT OPTION FOR ]

    { ALL [ PRIVILEGES ] | permission [ ,…n ] }

    {

        [ ( column [ ,…n ] ) ] ON { table | view }

        | ON { table | view } [ ( column [ ,…n ] ) ]

        | ON { stored_procedure | extended_procedure }

        | ON { user_defined_function }

    }

{ TO | FROM }

    security_account [ ,…n ]

[ CASCADE ]

[ AS { group | role } ]
