    Hi all

    I've noticed what looks like a red pin on the icons in security under server roles in Management Studio.

    Does anyone know what it means?

    Thank you

    I believe it means it's a built in role the permissions of which you can't modify

    Hi Andrew, yeah thanks that makes sense. It must be new in 2012 I don't see it in any of my 2008 boxes.

    Thanks again.

    2012 added the ability to create custom server-level roles. In 2008 there was no point in denoting what server-level roles were built-in, because they all were.
