Installation security

  • Hi there,

    I would like to know what security group I should give our people who need to install vendor-supplied applications that use SQL Sever.  They need to be able to install/upgrade applications and create databases, but I don't want them to have access to the other databases on the same instance.  Is System Administrator access the only option?

    thanks a lot

     

  • The dbcreator fixed server role will allow database creation. It does not, give any particular access to an already existing database. Of course, if a given user creates a database, they are the database owner and mapped to dbo for said database. As a result, they would have full ability to apply permissions, changes, etc.

    HTH.
