Required permissions / roles in order to import schema?

What is going to be the minimum permissions or role memberships that a DB developer will need in order to be able to import a schema from a DB into the tool?

Is there a way to prevent any developer from importing the schema from a certain DB?

Thanks,

AW

Within the Import schema option, you first need to create a connection to your database with your user name and password. Whatever permissions that user name has on the SQL Server, the Import Schema option will respect.

so for example if I create a connection to my SQL Server instance using my NT username which is a DBO for a given database then I can import all the schema objects that the DBO user has read permissions to.

We basically respect the DB/Server permissions settings

So, the minimum required in SQL Server 2005 is VIEW DEFINITION permission, is this correct? or for any reason will you require a any other permission?

Except where there are no securable permissions (such as filegroups), yes.
