    Which conflict viewer tool are you talking about? There are many.
    Which VCS are you using?
    What do you mean by 'anything else'? Not even using Notepad or a browser?

  • The conflictviewer I mean is the one comes with the installation of SQL Server Management Studio and looks like this:

    The tool is used for resolving database conflicts that occur with replicating SQL Server databases. 
    To make the tool work correctly the user needs to be a member of db_owner on the distribution database. When it is limited to this tool the user can't do much harm, but when he/she uses SSMS of course it can do much more.

  • That clears things up a lot, thanks. But I do not know the answer.

  • Conflict viewer comes with SSMS and this component  can not be installed separately.
