  • You can create logins in SQL that target an Active Directory security group. Then you can create the database users as appropriate for that login.

    If you don't have a suitable group already or need a specific one, then that will need to be created in AD; if like me you haven't got domain admin I guess you'd need to request a domain admin to do that part for you.

  • Do you manage both Windows and SQL Server, or is there somebody else who manages Windows at your organisation.

    If someone else manages Windows, then ask them to set up the group and put the users into it. You should not be doing this task.

    If you manage both Windows and SQL Server, then you have a lot to learn. Talk to your employer about getting proper training. If you do need to create the group yuorself, use the NET GROUP command. If you do not know how to use NET GROUP, as Google for examples.
