ON XML SCHEMA COLLECTION :: [ schema_name. ] XML_schema_collection_name
Specifies the XML schema collection 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.

<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
Specifies an application role.

Database_user_mapped_to_Windows_User
Specifies a database user mapped to a Windows user.

Database_user_mapped_to_Windows_Group
Specifies a database user mapped to a Windows group.

Database_user_mapped_to_certificate

Database_user_with_no_login
Specifies a database user with no corresponding server-level principal.

Remarks

Information about XML schema collections is visible in the sys.xml_schema_collections catalog view.

An XML schema collection is a schema-level securable contained by the schema that is its parent in the permissions hierarchy. The most specific and limited permissions that can be granted on an XML schema collection are listed in the following table, together with the more general permissions that include them by implication.

XML schema collection permission	Implied by XML schema collection permission	Implied by schema permission
ALTER	CONTROL	ALTER
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 EXECUTE permission on the XML schema collection Invoices4 to the user Wanida. The XML schema collection Invoices4 is located inside the Sales schema of the AdventureWorks2022 database.

USE AdventureWorks2022;  
GRANT EXECUTE ON XML SCHEMA COLLECTION::Sales.Invoices4 TO Wanida;  
GO
