Hi,

I have a table AcoTransaction. With Schema dbo.
I want to hide the Table AcoTransaction on object explorer so that any user cannot view on object explorer but can run script if they know the table name.

I don't think this can be done. I think you can stop a user seeing it whilst still being able to execute stored procedures which access it. But if you can directly execute any script against the table you must be able to see it.

You can't hide a table but you can not grant permission to view the contents based on the user who is logged in.
GRANT Object Permissions (Transact-SQL)[^]

"You cannot hide [...] but you cannot grant [...]"
This opposition is misleading, imho :)

I'm sorry, but I still do not see the distinction between both forms :)
