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.
