Summary

It's essential to secure the database objects to prevent unauthorized access that may compromise data. SQL Server 2012 provides the ability to create user-defined roles for easier security management. Role-based security enables database administrators to standardize access control over databases and provide a higher degree of granularity of object permissions.

Role-based security is an integral part of the SQL Server security model. This chapter covered securables, and by now you can design, implement, and maintain a robust security model that satisfies your organization's security requirements.
