Required SQL Server Database Permissions for C•CURE 9000

The following applies only to the full version of SQL Server (local or remote), not to SQL Server Express.

Only two Windows user accounts need permissions to SQL Server databases:

- Account used to do the installation.

- Account used to run the Software House CrossFire Framework Services.

Installation – To create the C•CURE 9000 databases, the Windows user account performing the installation must
have sufficient privileges on the SQL Server. This can be achieved by giving that user account the sysadmin role.

After the initial install, when performing repairs or upgrades, the privileges can be reduced to that of the db_owner
database role to each of the following databases: ACVSCore, SWHSystem, SWHSystemAudit and
SWHSystemJournal. The preceding is required because the initial install must create these databases, while later
installs need full access to the four databases to update them.

Running CrossFire Framework Services – All other access to the SQL Server is done through the Windows user
account that runs the CrossFire services. (Windows accounts used to access the C•CURE 9000 client do not need
SQL permissions).

If you do not want the CrossFire server account to have sysadmin privileges within SQL Server, you can set up the
permissions in one of the two following ways:

NOTE: Software House strongly recommends that you use the first method. Only experienced SQL Server
Administrators who absolutely require running with minimum privileges should use the second method.

1. Method one – Give this user db_owner role for all four databases. See screenshot above

2. Method two– Give this user the following privileges:

For SWHSYSTEMAUDIT and SWHSYSYTEMJOURNAL

- db_owner role
