Permissions to read error log.

I want to give developers permission to read the error log on the production
server. How can I do this without making them Administrator or
Securityadmin?"Eric w" <ewientzek@.hotmail.com> wrote in message

Since this is a text file, I'd suggest creating a share pointing to the
"LOG" folder (should be in "Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\LOG" if
you took the default installation path). Allow the developers RX permission
to the NTFS layer of that folder.
