With SharePoint 2010 RTM production farm, the following error was being logged in application event logs with severity level Critical when users try to open some of the site administration pages। An example is Site Actions > More Options page।
Insufficient SQL database permissions for user ‘Name:
The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object ‘proc_GetProductVersions’, database ‘SharePoint_Config’, schema ‘dbo’.
In order to resolve the issue, I provided Execute permission to the database role “WSS_Content_Application_Pools” into the stored procedure “proc_GetProductVersions”. I performed the following steps to do this.
1.In the database server, expand SharePoint Config database and naviage to Programmability/Stored Procedures/dbo.proc_GetProductVersions using SQL Server Management Studio.
2.Right click on the above stored procedure and select Properties.
3.On the popup screen, select Permissions on the left and click Search button.
4.On the new popup screen, click Search, select [WSS_Content_Application_Pools] database role and click OK.
5.Click OK again.
6.On the first popup screen, select the role, check Execute permission and click OK.
There is no need to restart any services for this change to take effect.
