Is there a way to grant a Developer the use of using SQL Server Profiler without giving him the role of sysadmin?
We have a third party application that he will be responsible for and he wants to understand better how it is working. The documentation from the 3rd party is thin.
Dont know which version of SQL Server you are running, here is the information from BOL: In order to run a trace against SQL Server you have to be a member of sysadmin fixed server role or have ALTER TRACE server permission. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187611.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187929.aspx
