Arguments
permission
Specifies a permission that can be granted on a type. For a list of the permissions, see the Remarks section later in this topic.
ON TYPE :: [ schema_name. ] type_name
Specifies the type on which the permission is being granted. The scope qualifier (::) is required. If schema_name is not specified, the default schema will be used. If schema_name is specified, the schema scope qualifier (.) is required.
TO <database_principal> Specifies the principal to which the permission is being granted.
WITH GRANT OPTION
Indicates that the principal will also be given the ability to grant the specified permission to other principals.
AS <database_principal> Specifies a principal from which the principal executing this query derives its right to grant the permission.
Database_user
Specifies a database user.
Database_role
Specifies a database role.
Application_role
Applies to: SQL Server 2008 (10.0.x) and later, SQL Database
Specifies an application role.
Database_user_mapped_to_Windows_User
Applies to: SQL Server 2008 (10.0.x) and later
Specifies a database user mapped to a Windows user.
Database_user_mapped_to_Windows_Group
Applies to: SQL Server 2008 (10.0.x) and later
Specifies a database user mapped to a Windows group.
Database_user_mapped_to_certificate
Applies to: SQL Server 2008 (10.0.x) and later
Specifies a database user mapped to a certificate.
Database_user_mapped_to_asymmetric_key

Specifies a database user mapped to an asymmetric key.
Database_user_with_no_login
Specifies a database user with no corresponding server-level principal.
Remarks
A type is a schema-level securable contained by the schema that is its parent in the permissions hierarchy.
Important
GRANT, DENY, and REVOKE permissions do not apply to system types. User-defined types can be granted permissions. For more information about user-defined types, see Working with User-Defined Types in SQL Server.
The most specific and limited permissions that can be granted on a type are listed in the following table, together with the more general permissions that include them by implication.
Type permission | Implied by type permission | Implied by schema permission |
---|---|---|
CONTROL | CONTROL | CONTROL |
EXECUTE | CONTROL | EXECUTE |
REFERENCES | CONTROL | REFERENCES |
TAKE OWNERSHIP | CONTROL | CONTROL |
VIEW DEFINITION | CONTROL | VIEW DEFINITION |
Permissions
The grantor (or the principal specified with the AS option) must have either the permission itself with GRANT OPTION, or a higher permission that implies the permission being granted.
If you are using the AS option, the following additional requirements apply.
AS | Additional permission required |
---|---|
Database user | IMPERSONATE permission on the user, membership in the db_securityadmin fixed database role, membership in the db_owner fixed database role, or membership in the sysadmin fixed server role. |
Database user mapped to a Windows login | IMPERSONATE permission on the user, membership in the db_securityadmin fixed database role, membership in the db_owner fixed database role, or membership in the sysadmin fixed server role. |
Database user mapped to a Windows group | Membership in the Windows group, membership in the db_securityadmin fixed database role, membership in the db_owner fixed database role, or membership in the sysadmin fixed server role. |
Database user mapped to a certificate | Membership in the db_securityadmin fixed database role, membership in the db_owner fixed database role, or membership in the sysadmin fixed server role. |
Database user mapped to an asymmetric key | Membership in the db_securityadmin fixed database role, membership in the db_owner fixed database role, or membership in the sysadmin fixed server role. |
Database user not mapped to any server principal | IMPERSONATE permission on the user, membership in the db_securityadmin fixed database role, membership in the db_owner fixed database role, or membership in the sysadmin fixed server role. |
Database role | ALTER permission on the role, membership in the db_securityadmin fixed database role, membership in the db_owner fixed database role, or membership in the sysadmin fixed server role. |
Application role | ALTER permission on the role, membership in the db_securityadmin fixed database role, membership in the db_owner fixed database role, or membership in the sysadmin fixed server role. |
Examples
The following example grants VIEW DEFINITION
permission with GRANT OPTION
