Managing Views and Security

This chapter adds another important piece to the SQL Server security puzzle — securables. They include server and objects including databases, tables, and views that you can secure to prevent unauthorized access.

You can perform most security management in SQL Server Management Studio using T-SQL code to grant, revoke, and deny access, through the Data Control Language (DCL) commands and several system-stored procedures.
