ArcSDE 9.2 SP 6 SQL Server 2000 Permissions Patch

This patch resolves an issue introduced at 9.2 SP6 by installing the Connection Performance and Geodatabase Repair Patch, or any subsequent patches. SQL Server 2000 users in the sysadmin, db_owner or db_datareader roles can see all data in the database. At 9.2 SP6, this permission is no longer honored by ArcSDE. When connecting, users no longer see any data unless owned by them. We recommend all SQL Server 2000 users download and install this Patch to resolve this issue.

ESRI® announces the ArcSDE 9.2 SP 6 SQL Server 2000 Permissions Patch. This patch fixes an issue with SQL Server 2000 users who are members of database or server roles not being able to see data that they do not own. We recommend that anyone using ArcSDE 9.2 SP 6 with SQL Server 2000 download and install this patch at their earliest convenience. It deals specifically with the issues listed below under Issues Addressed with this Patch.

 

Issues Addressed with this Patch

• NIM045639 - Users who are members of database or server roles like sysadmin or db_datareader cannot see data that they do not own.
• Description: After applying the ArcSDE 9.2 Connection Performance and Geodatabase Repair Patch, the ArcSDE 9.2 SP6 Memory Allocation Patch, or the ArcSDE 9.2 SP6 Compress with Concurrent Editors Patch, users who inherit permissions from membership in SQL Server roles such as sysadmin (DBO), db_owner, or db_datareader can no longer see data that they do not own and have not been explicitly granted SELECT permission on. This affects SQL Server 2000 only. Applying the Permissions patch will resolve this problem, allowing users to see data correctly again.
