    Hi

    I have a login with db_datareader and nothing else however I was quite suprised to find I could create temporary tables with this user.

    Should this be possible or have I missed something?

    Thanks

    just having a login gives you read rights to some master tables and the ability to create #tmp tables; that's perfectly normal.

    you do not even need to be a user in a database to create temp tables ont he fly.

    they do not have the ability to browse to the tempdb database and create anything, just the CREATE #Table or SELECT INTO #Tablename
