Access control requirements

A role used to execute this SQL command must have the following privileges at a minimum:

Privilege

Object

Notes

OWNERSHIP

Alert

OWNERSHIP is a special privilege on an object that is automatically granted to the role that created the object, but can also be transferred using the GRANT OWNERSHIP command to a different role by the owning role (or any role with the MANAGE GRANTS privilege).

The USAGE privilege on the parent database and schema are required to perform operations on any object in a schema.

For instructions on creating a custom role with a specified set of privileges, see Creating custom roles.

For general information about roles and privilege grants for performing SQL actions on securable objects, see Overview of Access Control.

Usage notes

  • When an alert is dropped, any current evaluation of the condition of the alert (i.e. a run with an EXECUTING state in the ALERT_HISTORY output) is completed.

  • An alert can be dropped by the alert owner (i.e. the role that has the OWNERSHIP privilege on the alert) or a higher role without first suspending the alert.
