Re: Hide databases in EM/QA



While I agree that the databases won't show up in the Object Explorer, I
read the OP's question as "How can I hide all other databases from client?",
and I replied that that was virtually impossible.

Your rejoinder seems to indicate to the OP that is was safe to use QA since
"the databases will be restricted or filtered to those which the user has
access to."

And I disagree that is it possible to 'hide all other databases" while using
QA.

That does not affect the view. Look at the available
databases in QA from the databases drop down.

Sue,

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but this seems to work and provide a list
of all databases on the server EVEN if the login does not have permissions
for the database.

SELECT name
FROM master..sysdatabases
