REVOKE Assembly Permissions (Transact-SQL)

Revokes permissions on an assembly.

Transact-SQL Syntax Conventions

Syntax

REVOKE [ GRANT OPTION FOR ] permission [ ,...n ] 
    ON ASSEMBLY :: assembly_name 
    { TO | FROM } database_principal [ ,...n ]
    [ CASCADE ]
    [ AS revoking_principal ]

Arguments

• GRANT OPTION FOR
  Indicates that the ability to grant or deny the specified permission will be revoked. The permission itself will not be revoked.

  Important

  If the principal has the specified permission without the GRANT option, the permission itself will be revoked.

• permission
  Specifies a permission that can be revoked on an assembly. Listed below.

• ON ASSEMBLY **::**assembly_name
  Specifies the assembly on which the permission is being revoked. The scope qualifier :: is required.

• database_principal
  Specifies the principal from which the permission is being revoked. One of the following:

  • database user

  • database role

  • application role

  • database user mapped to a Windows login

  • database user mapped to a Windows group

  • database user mapped to a certificate

  • database user mapped to an asymmetric key

  • database user not mapped to a server principal.

• CASCADE
  Indicates that the permission being revoked is also revoked from other principals to which it has been granted or denied by this principal.

  Warning

  A cascaded revocation of a permission granted WITH GRANT OPTION will revoke both GRANT and DENY of that permission.

• AS revoking_principal
  Specifies a principal from which the principal executing this query derives its right to revoke the permission. One of the following:

  • database user

  • database role

  • application role

  • database user mapped to a Windows login

  • database user mapped to a Windows group

  • database user mapped to a certificate

  • database user mapped to an asymmetric key

  • database user not mapped to a server principal.

Remarks

An assembly is a database-level securable contained by the database that is its parent in the permissions hierarchy. The most specific and limited permissions that can be revoked on an assembly are listed below, together with the more general permissions that include them by implication.

Assembly permission	Implied by assembly permission	Implied by database permission
CONTROL	CONTROL	CONTROL
TAKE OWNERSHIP	CONTROL	CONTROL
ALTER	CONTROL	ALTER ANY ASSEMBLY
REFERENCES	CONTROL	REFERENCES
VIEW DEFINITION	CONTROL	VIEW DEFINITION

Permissions

Requires CONTROL permission on the assembly
