Detail
UPDATE permissions default to members of the sysadmin fixed server
role, the db_owner and db_datawriter fixed database roles, and
the table owner. Members of the sysadmin, db_owner, and
db_securityadmin roles, and the table owner can transfer permissions to
other users.
SELECT permissions are also required for the table being updated if the
UPDATE statement contains a WHERE clause, or if expression in the SET
clause uses a column in the table.
