Can a replica database be publisher and at the same time subscriber. If so,
Is Merge replication OK for applying to go in this environment and how should
I configure the replicas as a subscribers or publishers?
Thanks for your answers.
Car.
yes this will work, its called republishing or hierarchies. Have a look at
this link for more info.

public server role
In exploring permissions that users have, I find that they all have VIEW ANY DATABASE permission which they inherit from the public server role. You can see this by selecting the Permissions page on the Server Properties dialog and highlighting "public". The permission shows as having been granted by sa. This is listed as a server role. However, it does not show in the list of server roles and I can't find any documentation for it (RTM BOL). Interestingly, if I revoke this permission (which is the only permission this role has), the public server role disappears from view. But I can subsequently regrant the permission with Transact-SQL in master and the role comes back.
I would like more information about this role. It seems to be sort of "secret".
When I revoke the permission, users can't see any databases except master and tempdb (both of which have active guest users) even though they have been granted access to other databases.
What I was trying to accomplish by changing this permission was to allow a user to see only those databases which they are allowed to use. But that does not seem to be possible.
Thanks for the help.

All logins belong to the public server role. It's like the "Everyone" group in Windows. There is a bug filed against Management Studio for not displaying this role in the list of fixed server roles.
The VIEW ANY DATABASE permission is assigned to public for backward compatibility with SQL Server 2000.
Here are a couple of BOL articles that mention this role:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175892(SQL.90).aspx
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187096(SQL.90).aspx
Thanks
Laurentiu
The role does not show in sp_helpsrvrole, either. I didn't have time to look for an appropriate catalog view, so there may be one that shows it.
Sharon
|||Catalogs show it: sys.server_principals.
You can see the permissions granted to it in sys.server_permissions.
Thanks

public role question
Using SS2000 SP4. I'm trying to lock down the database as much as possible.
I
created a new sql server login and gave the user no permissions other than
public role.
Why am I able to create a stored procedure with the new user. I thought
Public had select, insert, update, delete permissions. Does that allow a use
r
to create a stored procedure?
Thanks,
--
Dan D.I ran this query EXEC sp_helprotect NULL, 'public' and saw that public has
the permissions to create Default, create function, create procedure, create
rule, create table, create view, backup database, and backup transaction.
I created a new database and these public did not have these permissions so
I guess public doesn't have them by default.
Is it better to revoke or deny those permissions to public?
Thanks,

You ARE the special DBO user, and not the new user, which is why you have
all these permissions. You are not connecting as your new user and not
testing the permissions the new user has.
So again, please tell us exactly HOW you are trying to connect as the new

Since 'SELECT USER' returns 'dantest' instead of'dbo', we know 'dantest' is
not a sysadmin role member and is not the database owner. That means one of
the following must be true for the user to create procs:
1) The user is a member of the db_owner role. You can check this with
sp_helprolemember 'db_owner'
2) The user is a member of the db_ddladmin role. You can check this with
sp_helprolemember 'db_ddladmin'
3) The user (or a role the member belongs to) was granted CREATE PROCEDURE
permissions. You can check this with sp_helprotect 'CREATE PROCEDURE'
Hope this helps.

public role problem
Hi all
I had a database that was copied over from one server to another say SERVER1
to SERVER2. As always it happens that the permissions too get carried over
with the database. I was able to remove the carried over logins from all the
roles but not from public. So now I am not able to create the same login on
SERVER2 as on SERVER1 since it tells me that the login is already existing
in the database as a role.
I do understand that no members can be removed from public.. but is there
someway I can bypass this to create the same logins on SERVER2 as on SERVER1
' Or is there something wrong that I am doing while copying the files..
should I be taking some other precautions when copying over.. '
Any help is appreciated.. Thank you
NEVILLEDropping the login on server level or the user on db level will remove the
membership of the login/user in public.
Have a look at http://support.microsoft.com/view/tn.asp?kb=246133

NEVILLEDropping the login on server level or the user on db level will remove the

public role problem
Hi all
I had a database that was copied over from one server to another say SERVER1
to SERVER2. As always it happens that the permissions too get carried over
with the database. I was able to remove the carried over logins from all the
roles but not from public. So now I am not able to create the same login on
SERVER2 as on SERVER1 since it tells me that the login is already existing
in the database as a role.
I do understand that no members can be removed from public.. but is there
someway I can bypass this to create the same logins on SERVER2 as on SERVER1
' Or is there something wrong that I am doing while copying the files..
should I be taking some other precautions when copying over.. '
Any help is appreciated.. Thank you

Public Role Permissions
I have a system that before I arrived, they granted all permissions to all
objects to the public role instead of creating there own. While in the
process of trying to fix this we discovered that all users through the publi
c
role have the ability to create objects.
Ultimately what I need to know is how do I revoke or remove permissions to
the public role?Hi,
You will need to create new roles and assign the required permissions the
role. After that assign the approprate roles to users.
Once you are done with that then you could use ROVOKE command remove the
permissions from Public role. The only way to rovoke
Public role rights is to Rove the permissions.

public role membership
why does
sp_helprolemember 'public'
show no results, even though through the gui you can see that all the users
have tat role?Jason,
Since 'public' is defined to always contain everyone with access to a
database, there is no specific assignment to make them role members. So
sp_helprolemember has no rows to read and report on.
FWIW, if I assign a Windows Group to be a role member, only the Windows
Group (but not the logins that are members of the Windows Group) are
reported on by sp_helprolemember.

Public Role in SQL Server 2000 SP3
If I add a user to a database with Public Database Role, I
would like to know what privilege has been granted to him.
This is because we find that he is not able to SELECT any
table.
The default permissions of the public role allow SELECT from sysobjects and
other meta-data objects.
A security best practice is to create your own roles and grant object
permissions to those roles as needed. You can then control security by user
role membership.
Hope this helps.

|||Hi,
The public role is a special database role to which every database user
belongs. Captures all default permissions for users in a database.
The user with public role can access only the tables / objects granted
permissions exclusevely to PUBLIC role.
For eg:
Hari is a database owner and he create a table customer. After creation he
gave the below statement to give previlage to customer table.
GRANT select on customer to public
IN this case user inside public role will be able to access the table
customer. Otherwise he can not.
Thanks

Public Role in SQL Server 2000 SP3
If I add a user to a database with Public Database Role, I
would like to know what privilege has been granted to him.
This is because we find that he is not able to SELECT any
table.The default permissions of the public role allow SELECT from sysobjects and
other meta-data objects.
A security best practice is to create your own roles and grant object
permissions to those roles as needed. You can then control security by user
role membership.

The public role is a special database role to which every database user
belongs. Captures all default permissions for users in a database.
The user with public role can access only the tables / objects granted
permissions exclusevely to PUBLIC role.
For eg:
Hari is a database owner and he create a table customer. After creation he
gave the below statement to give previlage to customer table.
GRANT select on customer to public
IN this case user inside public role will be able to access the table
customer. Otherwise he can not.

Public role granted to user in master database.
In one of our sql server 2000 databases, there is an
application user that has public granted to it in the
master database. Can this be a security issue? There are
no permissions granted on objects just the public role.
I'm awaiting feedback from the vendor to find out why the
user is there. I just want to make sure this user cannot
do any harm to the master database.Not sure what you are saying. Every database has a role named public, you ca

Public Role for SQL 2000
For SQL 2000, I see that the Public role has some privileges like SELECT,
UPDATE, DELETE, & EXECUTE, permissions for some User's database objects
(Tables, views, &Stored procedures .)
Is that a security concern?
What will happen if I remove these privileges or revoke them?
Will that effect the rest of the users?
I read many threads on the internet, but no one could tell me the answers
for the 3 questions above.
Thanks in advance.wit1 (wit1@.hotmail.com) writes:

That is not the default.

It does not sound like the best security to me.
> What will happen if I remove these privileges or revoke them?
Impossible to tell as it depends on the application using the database.
> Will that effect the rest of the users?
Again, that depends on the application using the database.

You could try DENY, but since everyone is in public, this could have
the undesired effect that no one can access anything.
But maybe there is some misunderstanding? Could you clarify more precisely
what tables that are accessible to users who should not get there?

Presumably the user who installed the application will have admin rights
on the machine, and you cannot hide anything from an administrator.
You can of course, store the data in the database encrypted, and then
your application could decrypt the data as needed. But since the
application would have to hide the encryption key somewhere, it's not
safe from a user who is dead set from accessing the data, but at least
it protects you from the stray wanderer.
In any case, you need to cover this situation in the license agreement,
and explicitly say that disclosing the data in the database is not
permitted.

Is that a security concern?
What will happen if I remove these privileges or revoke them?
Will that effect the rest of the users?
I read many threads on the internet, but no one could tell me the answers

It does not sound like the best security to me.

Impossible to tell as it depends on the application using the database.

Public role and guest security concern in SQL 2000 SP4
Hi all,
I have setup a new SQL 2000 SP4 and internal auditor query about revoke permission from Public role and remove guest from all databases.
1. Can I revoke all default permissions (select on system tables in all DBs) from "Public" role? I am concern any error after such action.
2. I found that guest account in DB -- master, tempdb and msdb. According to Microsoft documents. The account should not remove and can't from master and tempdb. How about msdb?
Thanks,
Regards,
Edwin
1. You may of course get errors from users trying to access system tables without being specifically granted access. You can resolve these issues by granting access to those users.
2. guest cannot be actually dropped - it can only be denied access to the database (hasdbaccess will show as 0). The msdb database is used by replication and SQL agent, among other components. You should check on the respective forums to see the impact of disabling guest access to the msdb database: SQL Server Replication and SQL Server Tools General.
Thanks
Laurentiu
Thanks Laurentiu.
1. I have a search on web, some people mentioned that if revoke the default privilege from "Public" role on DBs (inclu. select system table, execute stored proc.). Microsoft wouldn't support my issues on this SQL in future. Is it true?
Thanks!
Edwin
|||Microsoft may not be able to provide support if the user directly modifies system tables. Since all you are doing is changing permissions, your product will still be supported. Keep in mind that some features may require "public" to function properly. I can't think of any off the top of my head so once you come up with this locked down configuration you will have to do some verification testing to ensure that the functionality that you require works.
|||
As long as the changes that you make are made using documented features (revoking a permission using REVOKE statement is a documented feature), then you don't have to worry about invalidating your support options.
You should avoid making changes using undocumented techniques, such as, for example, directly updating system tables.
Thanks
Laurentiu
Public role and explicit rights
I gave a developer rights to the Public role on a SQL Server 2000 database. The Public role only has explicitly set select rights to the system tables and one user table. There are no other explicit rights set. The developer was able to open a table that had no rights set in enterprise manager and change data. Is this possible?
What are are the rights in Public if an object doesn't have them explicitly set?
Thanx for your responses in advance,
andy
