Limiting objects displayed in QA Object Browser

  • Is there a way to limit the database objects displayed in a user's Query Analyzer Object Browser to the objects to which the user has permission?  By default, users seem to be able to see everything.  Thanks, Paul

     

  • If he has any permission on any object he will see it because he will be in public role of DB. The next thing is what is granted to him

  • The user is granted select on a small subset of views in one database.  The problem is that he can see all the other views (plus all tables) in Query Analyzer Object Browser, a confusing assortment for him.  He cannot do anything with most of the objects he can see.  I would like him to see in Object Browser only the views from which he can select.  Is there any way to do that?  Thanks, Paul

  • Unfortunatley Query Analyzer Object Browser uses sysobjects directly.

    The only way would be to rename sysobjects, create a view that uses sysobjects and filter by user permissions and of course  the name would be sysobjects. But I am sure you are not going to do that, do you?

  • Too bad.  I don't think I want to mess with system tables or views.  Thanks, Paul
