Grant Read Access to SDE_Compress_Log

Question

How can I grant read-only (select) access to non database owner users for the SDE_Compress_Log table in SQL Server 2016 or ArcGIS Desktop 10.6.1? I've tried in both environments and the settings seem correct. That table belongs to the SDE schema, while other users belong to a different schema. Users that are in the db_owner role can see it, but those in db_datareader and/or db_datawriter roles cannot see this table.

Or you could create an ssrs report and email them a report.

This is what we do…

Ok, another option would be to create a new table and copy/paste the data via python from the sde_compress table into something that they would be able to have permissions to.

This particular database is heavily versioned and runs automated nightly reconcile, post, indexing and compression processes. Some of our power users have requested read-only access to the resource so that they can confirm that processes executed and the database was compressed.
