Querying the sysprotects table for proxy authorization  Reporting permissions on database objects or users

Chapter 17: Managing User Permissions

Displaying information about users and processes

sp_who displays information about all current Adaptive Server users and processes or about a particular user or process. The results of sp_who include the loginame and origname. If a user is operating under a proxy, origname contains the name of the original login. For example, assume that “ralph” executes the following, then executes some SQL commands:

set proxy susie

sp_who returns “susie” for loginame and “ralph” for origname.

sp_who queries the master..sysprocesses system table, which contains columns for the server user ID (suid) and the original server user ID (origsuid).

For more information, see sp_who in the Reference Manual.
