Permissions issue in SSMS: “The SELECT permission was denied on the object 'extended_properties', database 'mssqlsystem_resource', … Error 229)”

Question

Here’s the simplest repro case possible.

1. Create a brand new database. (I\'m using SQL 2005.)
2. Create a login, a SQL user, and a table in the new databa

Answer 1

I had a similar problem. I resolved it by adding the user to the public role. But if you didn't want to do that, I also found that it could be resolved by giving the user permission to the view sys.extended-properties (in System Views within the database that you're trying to access)
