creating a "read only" login/user

  • Hi,

    I have the need to create a user who can only "select" from the many databases on a SQL Server instance.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance,

    Burt

  • Follow this:

    EM -> Security -> Logins -> R-Click -> NewLogin -> Database Access tab

    Choose your databases that you want to grant READ ONLY access by check infront of it.

    And for each databse, you have to check db_datareader at the below pane.

    And you are done!

    This is simple to undrestand but you can find more about it in BOL. To start, you can search sp_addlogin.
