Grant Method (Database)

This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.

The Grant method assigns a database permission or a list of permissions to one or more Microsoft SQL Server users or roles.
