The SELECT permission was denied on the object 'sysobjects', database 'mssqlsystemresource', schema 'sys'

Question

SETUP: SQL Server 2005 & DotNetNuke 05.01.02.

This started with me trying to install a DNN Module that had \"select * from dbo.sysobjects\" in it\'s SQL scripts

Answer 1

This was a problem with the user having deny privileges as well; in my haste to grant permissions I basically gave the user everything. And deny was killing it. So as soon as I removed those permissions it worked.
