What role\permission is needed to grant db_owner?

  • Hello all-

    Here’s the situation I am hoping someone can guide me with please:

    •User wants to be able to backup and restore databases

    •User also wants to be able to grant db_owner to user logins

    What I have tried:

    •I’ve granted them db_creator and securityadmin, however the user cannot map logins to the database with db_owner permission

    •Tried through the GUI and also t-sql

    use [database]

    go

    exec sp_addrolemember 'db_owner', ‘sqlaccount’

    go

    Error:

    Cannot alter the role 'db_owner', because it does not exist or you do not have permission.

    Any ideas would be much appreciated!

    Thank you in advance!

  • to grant DB_Owner you must be a member of the DB_Owner database role or sysadmin server role
