| What permissions are required for a user to access a local linked server? I've created a linked server and I myself, sysadmin, can use the linked server just fine. However, other users get errors when trying to expand the linked server when viewing it in SQL studio.server os: win 2003 x64sql server: sql 2008 standardlinked server: oracle oledb connection using 11g clientThe regular users get the following errors:EXECUTE permission denied on xp_prop_oledb_providerWhen I granted the user EXECUTE on that sp they got the following:Cannot create instance of OLE DB provider "OraOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server.So, what permissions do users usually need to make use of a linked server?On a side note, is there a way to find out where SP is located? I was trying to find the xp_prop_oledb_provider SP and couldn't. I can run the GRANT execute from a script, but was just wondering.Thanks. |
