[sql-server] The SELECT permission was denied on the object 'Users', database 'XXX', schema 'dbo'

I resolve my problem doing this. [IMPORTANT NOTE: It allows escalated (expanded) privileges to the particular account, possibly more than are needed for individual scenario].

  1. Go to 'Object Explorer' of SQL Management Studio.
  2. Expand Security, then Login.
  3. Select the user you are working with, then right click and select Properties Windows.
  4. In Select a Page, Go to Server Roles
  5. Click on sysadmin and save.
