| Is there a reason why a record in sys.sysuser would be visible to the system admin login but not to a standard user? If I want the standard user to see all the records in sys.sysuser, is there a permission setting I can change to make that happen? If I give the standard user system admin permissions, all records show up. But I cannot keep the standard user as system admin. Thanks. |

| We use Hyperion Intelligence for analysis against SQL Server. Hyperion uses a query that joins sysuser to sysobjects to get the table catalog used to visually build queries. Because of the hidden record in sysuser, the inner join results in an empty result set causig the table catalog in Hyperion to be empty. So it's pretty important to understand how to understand why there is a missing record in sysuser. |

| I'm confused as you've posted your question in the 2000 forum, yet sys.sysusers is in 2005. sysusers is in 2000 though. So which version are you using? If 2005, why can't it sys.database_principals? Or does that not solve the problem either?Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/Database maintenance routines:http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/archive/2004/07/02/1705.aspx |

| I'm going to move this thread to the 2005 forum and lock your new one, since it's a duplicate.Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/Database maintenance routines:http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/archive/2004/07/02/1705.aspx |
