RE: How can I remove Public access to SQL Express db's?



Well, first of all I'd like to say that the Studio Express is a nice tool -
thanks for telling me about that. It turns out that the guest account is not
listed at all for my database, but it is listed for the default databases
(model, msdb,tempdb), with no permissions (neither grant nor deny). Should I
just remove the guest acount or leave as-is?

Hello,

Thank you for posting here.

To remove the public of a database, we just need to revoke the permission
settings for the GUEST user. After that, only granted users are able to
access that database. To do so, we can refer to the following steps:

a. Click Start->All Programs->Microsoft SQL Server 2005-> SQL Server
Management Studio.

NOTE: By default the SQL Server Management Studio is not available in the
Start Menu. You can install this client tool from the following download
link manually:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c243a5ae-4bd1-4e3d-
94b8-5a0f62bf7796&DisplayLang=en

b. Right click on the database reported by the MSBA tool -> select
Properties.
c. In the left panel, please click permission.
d. In the right panel, please check if the Guest account is in the "Users
or Roles". If so, please uncheck all the "Grant" checkbox if it is selected.
f. Use the similar method to revoke the permission for "Public" role if it
is also listed.
g. Click OK to apply the setting.

After that, it will remove the public access of the database in question.

Have a nice day!
