- Grant the user account [permissions](/sql/relational-databases/security/permissions-database-engine) directly. There are over 100 permissions that can be individually granted or denied in SQL Database. Many of these permissions are nested. For example, the `UPDATE` permission on a schema includes the `UPDATE` permission on each table within that schema. As in most permission systems, the denial of a permission overrides a grant. Because of the nested nature and the number of permissions, it can take careful study to design an appropriate permission system to properly protect your database. Start with the list of permissions at [Permissions (Database Engine)](/sql/relational-databases/security/permissions-database-engine) and review the [poster size graphic](/sql/relational-databases/security/media/database-engine-permissions.png) of the permissions.
