doesn’t work for other schema other than dbo, e.g., otherschema.table1.
only work if your tables are part of dbo, e.g., dbo.table1.

doesn’t seem to work with Windows authtenticated users. For example
‘domainusername’

But you can grant select on database level ? Or even to a role and then subsequently to a user which is even neater

grant select on database::Adventureworks to LimitedUser;

Perfect! only wanted user to access tables and not views so adding to the db_datareader role was not an option. Thanks!

Extremely handy script! exactly what I was looking for. Saved a lot of time.

… or you could just add the login to the db_datareader role, which grants select permission to all tables and views within the database.
