So, I got my MCSA to satisfy the requirements of the job, and I can see, create, delete, and edit stored procedures, but I can't execute do anything with them. I can even pull the SQL out of a stored procedure and run it in a query window, but I cannot execute/edit/etc the stored procedures - that I wrote.
I hate my job.

If it is any consolation I have also fallen foul of exactly the same situation.
Boss - "Our auditors say that developers should not be able to run the SPs in Production"
Me - "But this isn't Production!"
Boss - "But it is modelled on Production"
Me - "But I can edit them!"
Boss - "Well, it's your job to edit them, you just can't run them"
...
You can imagine the follow up conversation with the Test Manager 
Fortunately the DBA saw the light and created a test id with execute rights. So, no personal responsibility as the test id is shared but the auditors are ok with that

Thhis isn't even an outward facing SQL server - it's solely for the use of the department in which I'm working.

I don't have the benefit of everyone sitting in a room together, or even that of an enlightened DBA. The security is "governed" by the Information Assurance nazis, and the DBA can only give access to the level they dictate. Even if he WAS enlightened, it wouldn't make a difference. I have to go through five layers of bureaucracy to get anything done around here.

Are we talking about a development environment?
How a developer can done the job if can't run the SPs?
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Speak for yourself. I do all my coding in NotePad and deploy to production during business hours. Only sissies need to test their code. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I would like to see how you handle 1,450,000 lines of SQL code with notepad...

Yeah, I believe you.
My boss would make a f***-up on at least 1,499,998 of the 1,450,000 lines.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

I assume that some lines are f***ed-up so badly that they count twice. 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

If there are more than one words in a line, there's scope for more than one f***-ups.

I have got to agree with Nick, I consider banks a PITA, right up until I read the crap you need to go through.

I believe you are just talking about the political implications of executing an SP, but there is an interesting missing role in SQl Server.
CREATE ROLE db_executor
GRANT EXECUTE TO db_executor
Then you can grant the ability that the person can only execute SPs.
It's a good way to secure a DB and still leave it open to SP execution.
See more at:
http://www.sqlmatters.com/Articles/Adding%20a%20db_executor%20role.aspx[^]
If you have all those other rights, you should most certainly have execute.

It is not healthy to hate your job. Once you hit that point, their is usually nothing that can be done to change your mind. Move on to something else.
|
|
|
|
|
Yup. You should love your job.
Just hate your colleagues.

And sadly that happens far to often these days. I wish employers would learn that keeping us happy is important to doing business effectively.

Do they still kill the people that worked on it after the project is done?
See, if you can't be trusted with the things you make.. Who guarantees me you're not going to write weapons of mass-destruction when you're on holiday?
