SQL Insert permission being denied on external database using GP user accounts

Posted on by Richard Wheeler 75,788 Moderator

I have added a VS C# application that has an option to run a stored procedure that exists in a GP database but this stored procedure writes to an external database. I have added the same users to this database and issued and ran GRANT.SQL on this database. I also created a DYNGRP schema and a DYNGRP role in this database. The problem is that when a GP user runs the stored procedure they get an error message about the INSERT permission has been denied. When I run GP as 'sa' it works so I know it is a security issue. Is there something else about how GP deploys security that I need to address to this external database so regular GP users can run this stored procedure? When I check the properties of users on this database the INSERT permission is checked.

    Security rolls down from the user in GP so creating non-GP users is not an option.

    Somehow the user became the owner of the DYNGRP schema. Once I switched the owner back to DYNGRP insertion was possible.

    Could it be failing since the GP users and passwords are encrypted?  You might want to try creating a non-GP user and give it public/datareader/datawriter in both databases.

    For similar kind of work, I did below.

    1. create login for each gp user in external database with CREATE USER 'userid' FROM LOGIN 'gp user login' .

    2.  Exec sp_addrolemember db_datawriter, 'userid'

    3. Exec sp_addrolemember db_datareader, 'userid'
