Remarks

Information about XML schema collections is visible in the sys.xml_schema_collections catalog view.

An XML schema collection is a schema-level securable contained by the schema that is its parent in the permissions hierarchy. The most specific and limited permissions that can be granted on an XML schema collection are listed in the following table, together with the more general permissions that include them by implication.

XML schema collection permission Implied by XML schema collection permission Implied by schema permission
ALTER CONTROL ALTER
CONTROL CONTROL CONTROL
EXECUTE CONTROL EXECUTE
REFERENCES CONTROL REFERENCES
TAKE OWNERSHIP CONTROL CONTROL
VIEW DEFINITION CONTROL VIEW DEFINITION
