Permissions required to use Documenter

dbForge Documenter can generate the documentation of a SQL Server database and customize it according to the user’s requirements. To perform this effectively, the user needs access to the database objects. Thus, the db_owner role is required.

Permissions issues

In case you don’t have the right permissions, generation of documentation will fail or produce unexpected results.
