Hi all,

My .NET application needs to know if the currently logged on user has rights
enough to create global tables, indexes, stored procedures, views, etc in
the current database.

The program runs through routines that create all these tables and we have
to make sure there is sufficient permission to create these items for all
users of the database to use.

Is there any defined stored procedures or views that returns that kind of
system information?

Thanks you!
