ArcSDE 9.3.1 SQL Server 2000 Permissions Patch

Published: June 29, 2009

Summary

This patch resolves an issue introduced at 9.3.1. SQL Server 2000 users who are members of roles such as sysadmin, db_owner or db_datareader can automatically see all data in the database. At 9.3.1 this permission is no longer honored by ArcSDE and when these users connect they no longer see any data unless it is owned by them. We recommend that all SQL Server 2000 users download and install this Patch at their earliest convenience to resolve this issue.

Description

ESRIĀ® announces the ArcSDE 9.3.1 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 9.3.1 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: At ArcSDE 9.3.1, 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.
