Need some suggestion on how to tackle DB access for users

  • Experts, we have decent amount of servers and hundreds of users accessing DBs on those servers. It gets painful time to time to manage users and their access. There are many users who are part of a development group who have almost same rights on the same server. I was thinking about maybe creating an AD group and assign that group read only or R/W access on the DB which I think makes it easier for me to restore all permissions as well after the refresh. Is it a good way of doing it or if there is another approach I should consider. Please let me know.

He who learns only to accumulate wealth, dies an atheist. And he who learns for the sake of action, dies a mystic."[/i]

    Definitely. Managing the permissions with AD groups will be much easier. The more you can use AD groups and roles, the better.

    Actually this is a best practice! The manageability of users on the instance will be greatly improved.....
