Table permissions

Permissions for accessing table in other databases and remote tables are controlled at the table location. When accessing a remote server, the connection is made using the login name and password of the user executing the query. To access remote data, the user must have the correct permissions on the remote table.

When processing distributed queries, the database server ignores the active role on the current local database when accessing a remote object. On the remote server, the default role applied to each remote database is used. If a default role is not defined, the user's privilege define the access permissions for the objects in each remote database.
