Version - SQL Server 2014 ENT.
Goal - To provide activity monitor access with least privilege to users.
Two security groups - Reader (db_datareader) and Owner (db_owner)
Trying to give permissions of 'View Server State' so either group of users can view activity monitor for analyze issues which comes not very frequently. At same time wan't to limit accessibility/limit to least level. Will it make any difference giving 'View Server State ' permissions to readers Vs Owners ? What permissions DBOs can get which readers can't get if permission applied to them.
Thanks
Vijay
