Enumerating Role Permissions with SMO

Hi,

I am attempting to enumerate role permissions using SMO. I can enumerate the permissions on a atbel, view, or store procedure no problem. When I try to enumerate the permissions that a role has I get the following error:

'Operation not supported on SQL Server 2000'

Can anyone help me in sorting this out. I had the permissions enumerated in DMO but I just can't seem to get it to work in SMO.

Thanks,

James

Just to make sure that I answer this correctly: are you connecting to SQL Server 2000 or SQL Servert 2005?|||

Hi,

I am connecting to SQL2K. I have not problem getting the permissions on a table, view, stored procedure, or function. Its only when I try to get the permissions for a role or user.

SMO has aligned the meaning of User.EnumObjectPermissions with all other objects (such as Table). This means that you would enumerate the permissions that have granted or denied to a principal for a User object; not the permissions that have been granted to the User object (which represents a database user). SQL Server 2005 has implemented this (it was not possible for SQL Server 2000) so that clarifies the message you get.

You should be able to call Database.EnumObjectPermissions(User.Name) to obtain the results that you expect.

Thanks,

that worked a treat.

Hi,

I am also working on the table permissions.

ObjectPermissionInfo[] objPer = database.EnumObjectPermissions(database.UserName);

But, from this point how could I display all permissions for a table? Could you please send me a sample code?

Thanks in advance.
