  • I'm not sure that the documentation is correct in that particular statement. That doesn't seem to show up on any other Credential-related page. Either way, Credentials are mapped to SQL Server logins, not to assemblies. And, when you say "inherit a particular account's permissions", are you specifically meaning the Windows account to use for external operations, such as file system, network, registry, etc? Can you please update the question to clarify exactly what you are attempting to do that requires the other account's permissions? thanks. Commented Jan 15, 2020 at 15:32
  • @SolomonRutzky updated to explain - I want it to do some NTLM auth with a particular accounts details. By default, it's picking up the SQL Server Service account's details Commented Jan 15, 2020 at 15:48
  • Hi Dan. I have updated my answer with the results of my testing. The documentation seems to be erroneous and Credentials in fact cannot be used in this manner. But, I do note two alternatives. Commented Jan 15, 2020 at 20:55
