Remarks

To get Certificate object properties, users can be a member of the public fixed server role.

To set the Certificate object properties and run the Alter method, users must have ALTER permission on the certificate.

To create a Certificate object, users must have CREATE CERTIFICATE permission on the parent database.

To drop a Certificate object, users must have CONTROL permission on the certificate.
