Can it be used to check user security as far as can user Edit SQL?
Thank you,
Alex
Alex,
The current version can show you all Roles assigned to a Principal for the objects, that includes all of the predefined roles, the Advanced role, and Custom Roles by name. Therefore if you know whether a role allows Edit SQL then you have what you need.
You can also drill into any Role on an object, which will show you the Rights on Object Property Bag and its listing of all rights, which uses the Right ID (not name). So if you already know the Right ID or can look it up, you can get specific rights info that way.
It’s possible that the next version could include rights-level security directly on the first results page… we would need to test to see if it’s feasible based on screen real estate and performance.
Hope this answers your question, thanks for asking!
Alex,
I’ve looked into this, and it is possible to provide a custom version which can look up the Granted Rights for each role on each result object.
If you’d like to get more details please ask or email cmsprostaff@gmail.com
