Grant execute permission for a user on all stored procedures in database?

Question

I generated script from old database, created a new database and imported all data from old database. So far so good, however, no user has execute rights for stored procedur

Answer 1

This is a solution that means that as you add new stored procedures to the schema, users can execute them without having to call grant execute on the new stored procedure:

IF  EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.database_principals WHERE name = N'asp_net')
DROP USER asp_net
GO

IF  EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.database_principals 
WHERE name = N'db_execproc' AND type = 'R')
DROP ROLE [db_execproc]
GO

--Create a database role....
CREATE ROLE [db_execproc] AUTHORIZATION [dbo]
GO

--...with EXECUTE permission at the schema level...
GRANT EXECUTE ON SCHEMA::dbo TO db_execproc;
GO

--http://www.patrickkeisler.com/2012/10/grant-execute-permission-on-all-stored.html
--Any stored procedures that are created in the dbo schema can be 
--executed by users who are members of the db_execproc database role

--...add a user e.g. for the NETWORK SERVICE login that asp.net uses
CREATE USER asp_net 
FOR LOGIN [NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE] 
WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA=[dbo]
GO

--...and add them to the roles you need
EXEC sp_addrolemember N'db_execproc', 'asp_net';
EXEC sp_addrolemember N'db_datareader', 'asp_net';
EXEC sp_addrolemember N'db_datawriter', 'asp_net';
GO
