GRANT EXECUTE on a Scalar-Valued Function Syntax

Question

What is the syntax to GRANT EXECUTE ON FUNCTION for a Scalar-valued Function?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Answer 1

Hey, Can you please try Grant execute on function <> to <> where the initial bracket is the function name and the next one is for user name

Answer 2

GRANT EXECUTE ON MyFun TO MyUser

Or exactly the same as for a stored procedure.

Hi @Bobby P

What is the syntax to GRANT EXECUTE ON FUNCTION for a Scalar-valued Function?

You are almost here. As experts answered above, the syntax is simply like this:

GRANT EXECUTE ON [ufnXXXX] TO [user]

Also, if you want to quickly grant a user permission to all procedures or functions. Then you could try something like this:

SELECT 'GRANT ' + CASE(ROUTINE_TYPE) 
                  WHEN 'PROCEDURE' THEN 'EXECUTE '
                  WHEN 'FUNCTION' THEN CASE(DATA_TYPE)
                                       WHEN 'TABLE' THEN 'SELECT '
                                       ELSE 'EXECUTE '
                                       END
                  END
                + 'ON [' + ROUTINE_SCHEMA + '].[' + ROUTINE_NAME + '] TO [user];'
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES
WHERE OBJECTPROPERTY(OBJECT_ID(ROUTINE_NAME),'IsMSShipped') = 0;

Note: The SELECT permission must be granted on this object rather than EXECUTE as for scalar functions.
