just like sa and Builtin\Administrators, and login you create that is part of the sysadmin will inherit the ability to do anything to any database.

CREATE LOGIN [superman] WITH PASSWORD=N'NotARealPassword',

DEFAULT_DATABASE=[master], CHECK_EXPIRATION=ON, CHECK_POLICY=ON

GO

EXEC master..sp_addsrvrolemember @loginame = N'superman', @rolename = N'sysadmin'

GO

Thanks.

But Server Role sysadmin allows login to do anything on the server. I just want that login can access all the databases.

Create the login (either sql or windows), and then run this. Copy & paste the output and exec. There's probably more efficient ways, but I still use cursors for small things like this. This will grant db_owner to all current databases (other than master, msdb, tempdb) and also to Model, which means all new databases created will have the user already added. Note that restoring a database will not use the Model structure, so you'll have to add the user manually again (or run this script).

declare @sql nvarchar(2000)

declare @dbname nvarchar(500)

declare GrantAccess cursor for

SELECT NAME FROM master.sys.databases WHERE database_id > 4 or name = 'model'

open GrantAccess

fetch next from GrantAccess into @dbname

while @@fetch_status = 0

BEGIN

select @sql = 'USE ['+@dbname+']

GO

EXEC sp_addrolemember N''db_owner'', N''LOGIN_HERE''

GO

'

print @sql

fetch next from GrantAccess into @dbname

END

close GrantAccess

deallocate GrantAccess

Thanks for this - solved my problem.

You could also insert the following if the login doesn't yet exist in each database

CREATE USER LOGIN_HERE

GO
