If a user who is a domain admin logs into SQL Server, if the
default BUILTIN\Administrators group has not been modified
or removed, the user will have sysadmin access through their
membership in the local administrators group on the SQL
Server - domain admins are members of the local admins group
and this group gets access to SQL Server through the
BUILTIN\Administrators group. The BUILTIN\Administrators
group are members of sysadmins.
How the security needs to be set up and how the users need
to be configured depends on the ERP system. You should
follow up with the vendor of this system to properly
configure security for the users of the system.
