Permissions problem executing stored procedure

Permissions problem executing stored procedure

Permissions problem executing stored procedure

(OP)
I have two stored procedures (actually several, but it boils down to this). I can execute both of them under my userid without problems.

We're using a specific userid for running reports. With this userid, I can execute one of the procs and not the other, and they both appear to have the same permissions. I checked the permissions for each stored proc for the user, and they both have Effective Permissions of EXECUTE. So, I'm stumped. Why can the user execute one of the stored procs and not the other?

Sorry I forgot to put that in. "Login failed for user 'username'".

RE: Permissions problem executing stored procedure

that's not permissions to the SP then.

If both SP's are on the same database and the login used (either SQL or Windows AD) is the same then I would think the SP is trying to link to another server (or execute a shell command on a share to which the user does not have permissions), and failing because permissions aren't set.

If SP's are on different DB's on same instance it may be permissions to the other DB that need fixing.

RE: Permissions problem executing stored procedure

(OP)
Looking further, in the log the error state is 8, "password did not match that for the login provided." I'm not able to see where the password would be provided, since I've already logged into the server.

RE: Permissions problem executing stored procedure

(OP)
As it turned out, one of the procs had a reference to one server that had the password stored incorrectly. I found it by removing chunks of the proc and attempting to execute the rest using the defective login. Eventually I narrowed it down to a particular server reference, and from there I was able to resolve the problem. Thanks for your help!
