       Permissions for MSSQL 2008 and Higher Database Assessments

      Database Assessments using MSSQL 2008 can be executed using a dedicated role that has permissions on the relevant database objects and a user that holds the role. The user and role should be created for each database in the server instance. Then, those users are mapped to a login that is used for the assessment process.

      For the full list of required permissions, see Required Permissions for MSSQL 2008 and Higher Database Assessments

      Notes:

      • When you run the DISA (STIG) assessment policy, if you do not use a login that has the Control Server permission or is a member of the SYSADMIN server role, you can execute the scan using the minimum permissions explained below. In such a case, there may be errors from a few of the policy's tests.
      • To run the seven tests in the policy Password Strength Assessments for MS-SQL 2005 and Above, the user must use a login that has the Control Server permission or is a member of the SYSADMIN server role, otherwise errors will be generated.
      • In the commands below, the square brackets and their contents are not variable markers but are part of the syntax of the command set.
      • MSSQL OS assessments can be conducted only with an account that has administrative privileges.
