sql server account

  • If i have sql account on Server A, cna i give that account any type of access on server B. I was just wondering if sql server account is related and works only under that server not other servers.

  • I do have all windows authenticated Link servers between the server.

  • If the login is a SQL Server based one, no. They exist on the one server only. However, when you create a linked server connection, you can map the login to a different login on the second server. But this would require additional configuration of the linked server.
