I have created a linked server in SQL Management Studio using an ODBC connection to a MYsql server in which I have read only access. When I am in SQL Manaement Studio I can query the tables in the database but I can't see the tables in object explore view. Is that something I can change in SQL Management Studio and if so how or do I need the DB admin to change a setting on their side?
 
You'll need to sweet-talk the admin. Rights to view metadata objects are a different animal from read rights on the tables.

With business clients like mine, you'd be better off herding cats.
