Does anyone know what it means when i see some
records returned that have their COLUMN value
as NULL?

I investigated a little to see if they are somehow
related to orphaned users but I don't believe they
are. What else would cause this column to be NULL?

And it seems they are all MSP related. Maybe this is
a Project Server bug?

Here's one sample:

Owner dbo
Object MSP_WEB_FN_SEC_GetAllProjectsResCanViewByViewID
Grantee MSProjectServerRole
Grantor dbo
ProtectType Grant
Action Select
Column NULL


Thank you

I don't have Project Server installed.

But if you want to dig further "sp_helptext sp_helprotect" can keep
you busy a little while. :-)
