How Do I give EXECUTE Permissions on Stored Procedures?

Hey guys,

I'm pretty new to SQL configuration, and I need to give EXECUTE
persmissions for one of the SQL user roles. I am running SQL 2005
Management Studio Express - free version. I found the list of my
stored procedures, but I can not locate any permissions screen. Can
someone help point me in the right direction? Thanks!alvinstraight38@.hotmail.com wrote:

if you right click on the SP and click properties, that should bring up
the options.

If you want to use the GUI, make sure that you have SP2. I think that
alternative was missing in RTM and SP1.

Then again, in the long run you are better of using GRANT commands.

Ahh, I see now why I was lost. I right click on the SP, and there is
no option for Properties. Yet, I can set permissions on tables. How
stupid. You mention SP2. How can I tell which service pack I am
running? I went to Help - About and it shows:

Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express Version 9.00.2047.00|||alvinstraight38@.hotmail.com (alvinstraight38@.hotmail.com) writes:

That's SP1.

You can grant permissions dynamically in this way to all db objects:
/* tables and views*/
select 'Grant select,insert,update,delete on '+name+ ' to USER'
from sysobjects
where xtype in ('U','V')

/*Stored procedures*/
select 'Grant exec on '+name+ ' to USER'
from sysobjects
where xtype in ('P')|||abu hisham wrote:

To clarify, this will not directly grant the permissions, but will
output SQL code that can be copy+pasted into Query Analyzer and
executed to grant the permissions.|||abu hisham (yjogee@.hotmail.co.uk) writes:

In SQL 2005 this can be achieved with a single statement:

GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, EXECUTE
ON SCHEMA::schema_name TO user

Access granted on schema level are inherited by objects in the schema, which
means that it also applies to future objects.
