I have a user id witch is a member of public, db_datareader and db_datawriter. I want to run the following comand in QA.

exec @I=master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'dtsrun /S 1.2.3.4\Test /E /N Import_DTS'

And I get the following error:

Server: Msg 229, Level 14, State 5, Procedure xp_cmdshell, Line 12
EXECUTE permission denied on object 'xp_cmdshell', database 'master', owner 'dbo'.

I remember it was working with this user id but now it is not. It works when I use a user id with DBO membership. What's the problem?

I found this in BOL:

Execute permissions for xp_cmdshell default to members of the sysadmin fixed server role, but can be granted to other users.

Important If you choose to use a Windows NT account that is not a member of the local administrator's group for the MSSQLServer service, users who are not members of the sysadmin fixed server role cannot execute xp_cmdshell.
