SQL Permissions for RightFax 9.3

April 1st, 2008

At times, there may be confusion on what security rights and access rights the account that makes the connection to the RightFax SQL database must have. At all times, the account making the SQL connection must have DB Owner permissions on the RightFax database.

However, during the initial installation of RightFax 9.3 and installation of any Feature Pack and/or Service Release, the account MUST have sys-admin rights to the SQL server during this time. These rights are required because each update to the software includes modifications to SQL tables using CREATE, ALTER and DROP functions. Once the installation is complete, sys-admin rights can be removed from the SQL server for the account being used for the database connection.
