sp_column_privileges

Description

Returns permissions information for one or more columns in a table or view.

Syntax

sp_column_privileges table_name [, table_owner
	[, table_qualifier [, column_name]]]

Parameters

table_name

is the name of the table. The use of wildcard characters in pattern matching is not supported.

table_owner

is the name of the table owner. The use of wildcard characters in pattern matching is not supported. If you do not specify the table’s owner, sp_column_privileges looks for a table owned by the current user and then for a table owned by the Database Owner.

table_qualifier

is the name of the database. Values are the name of the current database and null.

column_name

is the name of the column whose permissions you want to display. Use wildcard characters to request information for more than one column. If you do not specify a column name, permissions information for all columns in the specified table is returned.
