The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'sp_enable_sql_debug', database 'mssqlsystemresource', schema 'sys'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 300)
I have a developer which is attempting to Debug a SQL against a SQL Server 2014 database. They have db_owner rights to the particular DB but only public rights to the server in general. This is to isolate the developer from other databases which our security policy doesn't allow general access to. I believe, from what I have read, for earlier versions of the database, that in order to use Debugging, the developer requires to a sysAdmin on the server. Is this still true for SQL 2014 and, if so, is there anyway around this issue? I can't believe we are the only company that is experiencing this.
No still to this day you need SysAdmin rights to run the debugger.
This has been a debate in many an organization where I have worked even to give developers SA rights even in development environments incase they make a change to the server and thus never gets into production etc. So it was only granted at specific times they needed to run the debugger and that was only in dev, they never got it in any other environment.
