Author limited permissions on test server for developers
andy

I want to give developers limited permissions on a test sql server 2005
database. Basically they should be able to add columns to a table or
modify a columns datatype.

Create table and view definition have been granted to the developer
accounts (along with insert/update/delete), but they receive the
following error when trying to modify a table schema:
table dbo.ppir is set to read only, user doesn't have enough rights on
this table.

I am fairly new to sql server, but I did do some searching to find an
answer. I would prefer not to give them db owner permissions if
possible.

Thanks,
Andy

You could add the accounts to the "db_ddladmin" role on the database.

Hi Andy

They will need ALTER TABLE permission on the given table. See ALTER TABLE in
books online for more.
