How to: Create Database Mail Public Profiles (Transact-SQL)
Use the Database Mail Configuration Wizard or the Database Mail stored procedures to create public Database Mail profiles. A public profile allows any user with access to the msdb database to send e-mail using that profile.
To create a Database Mail public profile using Transact-SQL
Create one or more Database Mail accounts for the profile. For more information about creating Database Mail accounts, see How to: Create Database Mail Accounts (Transact-SQL).
Execute the stored procedure msdb.dbo.sysmail_add_profile_sp to create the profile, specifying:
- The name of the profile to create.
- An optional description of the profile.
For each account, execute msdb.dbo.sysmail_add_profileaccount_sp to add the account to the profile.
Grant public access to the profile by executing msdb.sysmail_add_principalprofile_sp with 'public' as the @principal_name, or 0 as the @principal_id.
Example
The following example creates a Database Mail account and a Database Mail profile. The example then adds the account to the profile and grants access to the profile to all users in the msdb database.
-- Create a Database Mail account
EXECUTE msdb.dbo.sysmail_add_account_sp
@account_name = 'AdventureWorks Public Account',
@description = 'Mail account for use by all database users.',
@email_address = 'db_users@Adventure-Works.com',
@replyto_address = 'danw@Adventure-Works.com',
@display_name = 'AdventureWorks Automated Mailer',
@mailserver_name = 'smtp.Adventure-Works.com' ;
-- Create a Database Mail profile
EXECUTE msdb.dbo.sysmail_add_profile_sp
@profile_name = 'AdventureWorks Public Profile',
@description = 'Profile used for administrative mail.' ;
-- Add the account to the profile
EXECUTE msdb.dbo.sysmail_add_profileaccount_sp
@profile_name = 'AdventureWorks Public Profile',
@account_name = 'AdventureWorks Public Account',
@sequence_number =1 ;
-- Grant access to the profile to all users in the msdb database
EXECUTE msdb.dbo.sysmail_add_principalprofile_sp
@profile_name = 'AdventureWorks Public Profile',
@principal_name = 'public',
@is_default = 1 ;
