INSERT permission denied on object 'AUDIT_LOG_TRANSACTIONS' error is shown (4214909)

Applies to
ApexSQL Trigger

Summary
Triggers were successfully created on the tables, but upon populating the tables with data the following errors are seen:

“INSERT permission denied on object 'AUDIT_LOG_TRANSACTIONS', database 'My_Database', owner 'dbo'.”

Cause
Insufficient permissions on writing audit log

Resolution
Each audit trigger executes with permissions of the parent table owner. The table owners should have “write” permissions on the ApexSQL Trigger storage tables.

To grant insert permissions to your tables see the code below:

INSERT ON[DBO].[AUDIT_LOG_TRANSACTIONS] TO [TABLE_OWNER] GO GRANT INSERT ON[DBO]style="color: silver;">.[AUDIT_LOG_DATA] TO[TABLE_OWNER] GO

table_owner is the table owner or a role
