Overview
We group database objects into schemas with dedicated roles. While owner roles are applied, non-owner permissions for other schemas fail to script. How can this be resolved?
hey, try wrapping permission setups in stored procs using exec as to switch context. i’ve seen it help non-owmer roles get the right access while keepin schema isolation. might be a neat workaround to the scripting issue.
In similar circumstances, I found that relying exclusively on schema ownership does not guarantee proper permission propagation for non-owner roles. Instead, it is more reliable to explicitly grant permissions on required objects using SQL GRANT commands. This approach demands a thorough mapping of roles to schema objects, ensuring that each entity receives the necessary access rights. Additionally, employing the ALTER AUTHORIZATION command to reassign reusable schema ownership can address some of the scripting issues while maintaining clear separation between roles.
hey friens, i was wondering if reordering your explicit grimnt commands or double-checking effective rights on the schema might help. have you tried using alternative scripts to ensure role propagation? would luv to hear your experiemce with this issue.
In my experience, addressing schema separation and role assignment effectively requires a systematic approach rather than relying solely on stored procedures for context switching. One effective method I’ve implemented is to create a permissions audit process that identifies discrepancies between expected and actual grants for non-owner roles. With this audit, custom dynamic scripts can generate the necessary GRANT statements to correct any missing permissions. This approach not only ensures the role assignments are accurately maintained but also avoids the pitfalls of redundant or ineffective permission propagation across schemas.
