Thank you for this nice script! Works nice for me. Is it possible to adapt it so that I will be able to choose a particular object. I sometimes need to make changes to security for several objects only assigning ownership privileges to one set of objects and then for another. Is it possible to implement here something like a HTA application fro as script? Something more flexible for me to be able to grant, revoke and copy privileges between users? Recently I stumbled upon a SQL security management tool from Scriptlogic named Security Explorer for SQL http://www.scriptlogic.com/products/security-explorer/sql-server/ . This tool allowed me to grant ownership for a set of several hundreds of stored procedures on a set of DBs that we host. It's even faster than I can change file access in Windows Explorer.
