Hey, thank you for the help to narrow down the issue.

I've found it. Need to check the group access that I am in too.

SQL Server > Security > Logins >...

my login is in a department login group.

SQL server > Security > Logins > SDomain\Group_IT

I do a right click > Properties on this group, under Server Roles tab, this group...

is it because i have server roles - processadmin at the sql server > security > logins ?

that's not it. I have removed it, but still I am able to readd myself.

I have also remove db_securityadmin; the only access I have is db_accessadmin, db_datareader, db_datawriter and db_ddladmin
