Re: Creating specific users



Hi,

The minimum rights a user account needs is:

Public (can not remove)
db_backupoperator
db_denydatareader (don't need but locks down)
db_denydatawriter (don't need but locks down)

If db_denydatareader is not set the user will be able to see the tables and
the structure (table properties only), but not the data in the tables. See
the stored procedures and views there content but cannot edit them. When
selected it will hide all the tables, views, stored procedures and users
from them and they will only be able to backup the database.

The only issue you will have is if they are backing up to disk they will not
be able to browse the DIR structure but can enter the location manually.
Alternatively you can set it up as a backup device.

I have a user who is just responsible for monitoring SQL backups. However I
seem to have to grant sys admin rights in order for the user to be able to
see the backups in Enterprise manager. What is the lowest level that I can
grant to the user in this situation ?
