FIX: Permissions Shown Incorrectly in SQL Enterprise Manager

• Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5

SYMPTOMS

If you have two objects with the same name, but different owners, permissions may be shown incorrectly on the By User tab in SQL Enterprise Manager. The permissions granted to users on the object will not be displayed. However, the permissions will be displayed correctly on the By Object tab.

When executing queries, the users will have all the permissions that they have been granted. The problem lies only in the way the By User tab in SQL Enterprise Manager displays the permissions.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, you can view the permissions correctly on the By Object tab in SQL Enterprise Manager.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SQL Server version 6.5. This problem has been corrected in U.S. Service Pack 5a for Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. For information about downloading and installing the latest SQL Server Service Pack, see http://support.microsoft.com/support/sql/.
