ALTER LOGIN vs ALTER ANY LOGIN Permission SQL 2012

  • Where does the setting to grant or deny ALTER LOGIN exist? We are experiencing a situation where we are able to create our own logins but not any other login. Clearly none of us has the ability to create logins from a permissions perspective since Alter ANY login is not granted and we are not admins either. The only permissions we have are Read/Write at database level and View any database and View any definition at the server level. What could be causing this?

  • You answered your own question. ALTER LOGIN requires ALTER ANY LOGIN permission.

  • My question is, How do I deny Alter Login permission? Or rather what permission is allowing me to create my own login?

  • How did you connect to SQL Server initially to create your own login? You'd need to connect to the instance somehow to create a login.

  • I am part of an AD group. The group does not have permissions to create or alter logins.
