.NAME
SqlPermission .SYNOPSIS The SqlPermission DSC resource is used to grant, deny or revoke server permissions for a login. .DESCRIPTION The SqlPermission DSC resource is used to grant, deny or revoke Server permissions for a login. For more information about permissions, please read the article https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/security/permissions-database-engine. >Note: When revoking permission with PermissionState 'GrantWithGrant', both the >grantee and all the other users the grantee has granted the same permission to, >will also get their permission revoked. ## Requirements * Target machine must be running Windows Server 2012 or later. * Target machine must be running SQL Server Database Engine 2012 or later. * Target machine must have access to the SQLPS PowerShell module or the SqlServer PowerShell module. ## Known issues All issues are not listed here, see https://github.com/dsccommunity/SqlServerDsc/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+in%3Atitle+SqlPermission. ### PSDscRunAsCredential not supported The built-in property PSDscRunAsCredential does not work with class-based resources that using advanced type like the parameter Permission does. Use the parameter Credential instead of PSDscRunAsCredential. ### Using Credential property. SQL Authentication and Group Managed Service Accounts is not supported as impersonation credentials. Currently only Windows Integrated Security is supported to use as credentials. For Windows Authentication the username must either be provided with the User Principal Name (UPN), e.g. 'username@domain.local' or if using non-domain (for example a local Windows Server account) account the username must be provided without the NetBIOS name, e.g. 'username'. The format 'DOMAIN\username' will not work. See more information in https://github.com/dsccommunity/SqlServerDsc/wiki/CredentialOverview. ### Invalid values during compilation The parameter Permission is of type [ServerPermission]. If a property in the type is set to an invalid value an error will occur, correct the values in the properties to valid values. This happens when the values are validated against the [ValidateSet()] of the resource. When there is an invalid value the following error will be thrown when the configuration is run (it will not show during compilation): `plaintext Failed to create an object of PowerShell class SqlPermission. + CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (root/Microsoft/...ConfigurationManager:String) [], CimException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : InstantiatePSClassObjectFailed + PSComputerName : localhost ` .PARAMETER sqlServerObject Write - System.Object .PARAMETER InstanceName Key - System.String The name of the SQL Server instance to be configured. Default value is 'MSSQLSERVER'. .PARAMETER Name Key - System.String The name of the user that should be granted or denied the permission. .PARAMETER ServerName Write - System.String The host name of the SQL Server to be configured. Default value is the current computer name. .PARAMETER Permission Write - ServerPermission[] An array of server permissions to enforce. Any permission that is not part of the desired state will be revoked. Must provide all permission states (Grant, Deny, GrantWithGrant) with at least an empty string array for the advanced type ServerPermission's property Permission. Valid permission names can be found in the article https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.sqlserver.management.smo.serverpermissionset#properties. This is an array of CIM instances of advanced type ServerPermission from the namespace root/Microsoft/Windows/DesiredStateConfiguration. .PARAMETER PermissionToInclude Write - ServerPermission[] An array of server permissions to include to the current state. The current state will not be affected unless the current state contradict the desired state. For example if the desired state specifies a deny permissions but in the current state that permission is granted, that permission will be changed to be denied. Valid permission names can be found in the article https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.sqlserver.management.smo.serverpermissionset#properties. This is an array of CIM instances of advanced type ServerPermission from the namespace root/Microsoft/Windows/DesiredStateConfiguration. .PARAMETER PermissionToExclude Write - ServerPermission[] An array of server permissions to exclude (revoke) from the current state. Valid permission names can be found in the article https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.sqlserver.management.smo.serverpermissionset#properties. This is an array of CIM instances of advanced type ServerPermission from the namespace root/Microsoft/Windows/DesiredStateConfiguration. .PARAMETER Credential Write - PSCredential Specifies the credential to use to connect to the SQL Server instance. If parameter *Credential' is not provided then the resource instance is run using the credential that runs the configuration. .PARAMETER Reasons Read - Reason[] Returns the reason a property is not in desired state. .EXAMPLE 1 This example shows how to ensure that the login "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" and "NT SERVICE\ClusSvc" is granted "AlterAnyAvailabilityGroup" and "ViewServerState" permissions. Configuration Example { param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [System.Management.Automation.PSCredential] $SqlAdministratorCredential ) Import-DscResource -ModuleName 'SqlServerDsc' node localhost { SqlPermission 'SQLConfigureServerPermission-SYSTEM' { ServerName = 'sql01.company.local' InstanceName = 'DSC' Name = 'NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM' Credential = $SqlAdministratorCredential Permission = @( ServerPermission { State = 'Grant' Permission = @('AlterAnyAvailabilityGroup', 'ViewServerState') } ServerPermission { State = 'GrantWithGrant' Permission = @() } ServerPermission { State = 'Deny' Permission = @() } ) } SqlPermission 'SQLConfigureServerPermission-ClusterSvc' { ServerName = 'sql01.company.local' InstanceName = 'DSC' Name = 'NT SERVICE\ClusSvc' Credential = $SqlAdministratorCredential Permission = @( ServerPermission { State = 'Grant' Permission = @('AlterAnyAvailabilityGroup', 'ViewServerState') } ServerPermission { State = 'GrantWithGrant' Permission = @() } ServerPermission { State = 'Deny' Permission = @() } ) } } } .EXAMPLE 2 This example shows how to enforce that if the login CONTOSO\SQLAdmin would be granted the permission "CreateEndpoint" outside of DSC, it is revoked. Any other existing permissions in the states Grant, Deny, and GrantWithGrant will not be changed (unless the contradict with the desired state). Configuration Example { param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [System.Management.Automation.PSCredential] $SqlAdministratorCredential ) Import-DscResource -ModuleName 'SqlServerDsc' node localhost { SqlPermission 'Set_Permissions_SQLAdmin' { ServerName = 'sql01.company.local' InstanceName = 'DSC' Name = 'CONTOSO\SQLAdmin' Credential = $SqlAdministratorCredential PermissionToExclude = @( ServerPermission { State = 'Grant' Permission = @('CreateEndpoint') } ) } } } .EXAMPLE 3 This example shows how to ensure that the login CONTOSO\SQLAdmin is granted the "AlterAnyAvailabilityGroup" and "ViewServerState" permissions. Any existing permissions in the states Grant, Deny, and GrantWithGrant will not be changed (unless the contradict with the desired state). Configuration Example { param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [System.Management.Automation.PSCredential] $SqlAdministratorCredential ) Import-DscResource -ModuleName 'SqlServerDsc' node localhost { SqlPermission 'Set_Database_Permissions_SQLAdmin' { ServerName = 'sql01.company.local' InstanceName = 'DSC' Name = 'CONTOSO\SQLAdmin' Credential = $SqlAdministratorCredential PermissionToInclude = @( ServerPermission { State = 'Grant' Permission = @('AlterAnyAvailabilityGroup', 'ViewServerState') } ) } } } |
