I'm logged in as sa on my local SQL Server 14.0.1000.169 database and I'm trying to run the following script:
CREATE USER [myuser] FOR LOGIN [myuser] WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA=[dbo]
GO
I get the following result:
Msg 15007, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
myuser is not a valid login or you do not have permission
I double-checked and myuser doesn't exist and dbo does exist, any idea what's wrong?
Before Creating a User you must first create a global Login.
under Security -> Logins -> NewLogin
Or
First connect to the server and switch to the master database. In master create a login and then add a user for that login to the master database.
CREATE LOGIN [MyLogin] WITH password='xxxxxxxxx'
GO
CREATE USER [MyUser] FOR LOGIN [MyLogin] WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA=[dbo]
GO
Once the login exists you can add them as a User under a particular
database.
I have SQL Server 2005, and I tried to create a new database with a user.
I used these commands with sa user on master db:
CREATE LOGIN mobstat WITH PASSWORD = 'mobstat123';
CREATE USER mobstat FOR LOGIN mobstat;
CREATE SCHEMA mobstat AUTHORIZATION mobstat;
CREATE DATABASE mobstat COLLATE SQL_Hungarian_CP1250_CI_AS;
EXEC sp_addrolemember N'db_owner', N'mobstat';
Every command executed well, but I cannot login with the new user.
The error is:
Cannot open database "mobstat" requested by the login. The login failed.
I've tried to Google it, but no result yet.
My client is DBeaver.
USE master;
GO
CREATE LOGIN mobstat WITH PASSWORD = 'mobstat123';
GO
CREATE DATABASE mobstat COLLATE SQL_Hungarian_CP1250_CI_AS;
GO
-- You were creating a schema and a User before you have created a database
USE [mobstat]
GO
CREATE USER mobstat FOR LOGIN mobstat;
GO
EXEC sp_addrolemember N'db_owner', N'mobstat';
GO
CREATE SCHEMA [mobstat] AUTHORIZATION [mobstat]
GO
i have application and sql server 2012 user ( i need to keep him with minimum permission)
i need to perform bulk insert by my application .
so i need to grant and deny the bulk permission by using SP
when i try
Alter PROCEDURE grantRole #Grant bit
With Execute As Owner AS
if(#Grant=1)
ALTER SERVER ROLE [bulkadmin] ADD MEMBER [myUser]
else
ALTER SERVER ROLE [bulkadmin] DROP MEMBER [myUser]
GO
i get the error
Msg 15151, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot alter the server role 'bulkadmin', because it does not exist or you do not have permission.
note that :the SP 'grantRole' exec from my application by the connection of the user -which is the user need to grant/deny the role- with execute permission
but as developer i have the permission
how can i solved or is their another way
I am trying to use the following template:
-- =================================================
-- Create User as DBO template for SQL Azure Database
-- =================================================
-- For login <login_name, sysname, login_name>, create a user in the database
CREATE USER <user_name, sysname, user_name>
FOR LOGIN <login_name, sysname, login_name>
WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA = <default_schema, sysname, dbo>
GO
-- Add user to the database owner role
EXEC sp_addrolemember N'db_owner', N'<user_name, sysname, user_name>'
GO
I would like to create a user called user1 with a password of 'user1pass'. I connected with my default database 'authentication' and I have a query window open.
But the template does not make sense for me. For example what's sysname, where do I supply the password and what should I use as the default_schema?
The particular user needs to have the power to do everything. But how do I set it up so he can do everything, is that done if I make the user a database owner?
So far I have tried:
CREATE USER user1, sysname, user1
FOR LOGIN user1, sysname, user1
WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA = dbo, sysname, dbo
GO
Giving:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1 Incorrect syntax near ','.
and:
CREATE USER user1
FOR LOGIN user1
WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA = dbo
GO
Giving:
Msg 15007, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 'user1' i
s not a valid login or you do not have permission.
Edit - Contained User (v12 and later)
As of Sql Azure 12, databases will be created as Contained Databases which will allow users to be created directly in your database, without the need for a server login via master.
Sql (standard) User
CREATE USER [MyUser] WITH PASSWORD = 'Secret';
ALTER ROLE [db_datareader] ADD MEMBER [MyUser]; -- or sp_addrolemember
AAD linked User
CREATE USER [SomeUser#mydomain.com] FROM EXTERNAL PROVIDER;
EXEC sp_addrolemember 'db_datareader' , N'SomeUser#mydomain.com'
AAD linked Group
CREATE USER [SomeGroup] FROM EXTERNAL PROVIDER;
EXEC sp_addrolemember 'db_datareader' , N'SomeGroup'
NB! when connecting to the database when using a contained user that you must always specify the database in the connection string.
Traditional Server Login - Database User (Pre v 12)
Just to add to #Igorek's answer, you can do the following in Sql Server Management Studio:
Create the new Login on the server
In master (via the Available databases drop down in SSMS - this is because USE master doesn't work in Azure):
create the login:
CREATE LOGIN username WITH password=N'password';
Create the new User in the database
Switch to the actual database (again via the available databases drop down, or a new connection)
CREATE USER username FROM LOGIN username;
(I've assumed that you want the user and logins to tie up as username, but change if this isn't the case.)
Now add the user to the relevant security roles
EXEC sp_addrolemember N'db_owner', N'username'
GO
(Obviously an app user should have less privileges than dbo.)
Check out this link for all of the information : https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/adding-users-to-your-sql-azure-database/
First you need to create a login for SQL Azure, its syntax is as follows:
CREATE LOGIN username WITH password='password';
This command needs to run in master db. Only afterwards can you run commands to create a user in the database. The way SQL Azure or SQL Server works is that there is a login created first at the server level and then it is mapped to a user in every database.
HTH
I followed the answers here but when I tried to connect with my new user, I got an error message stating "The server principal 'newuser' is not able to access the database 'master' under the current security context".
I had to also create a new user in the master table to successfully log in with SSMS.
USE [master]
GO
CREATE LOGIN [newuser] WITH PASSWORD=N'blahpw'
GO
CREATE USER [newuser] FOR LOGIN [newuser] WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA=[dbo]
GO
USE [MyDatabase]
CREATE USER newuser FOR LOGIN newuser WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA = dbo
GO
EXEC sp_addrolemember N'db_owner', N'newuser'
GO
You can simply create a contained user in SQL DB V12.
Create user containeduser with password = 'Password'
Contained user login is more efficient than login to the database using the login created by master. You can find more details # http://www.sqlindepth.com/contained-users-in-sql-azure-db-v12/
I use the Azure Management console tool of CodePlex, with a very useful GUI, try it. You can save type some code.
1 Create login while connecting to the master db
(in your databaseclient open a connection to the master db)
CREATE LOGIN 'testUserLogin' WITH password='1231!#ASDF!a';
2 Create a user while connecting to your db (in your db client open a connection to your database)
CREATE USER testUserLoginFROM LOGIN testUserLogin;
Please, note, user name is the same as login. It did not work for me when I had a different username and login.
3 Add required permissions
EXEC sp_addrolemember db_datawriter, 'testUser';
You may want to add 'db_datareader' as well.
list of the roles:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/security/authentication-access/database-level-roles?view=sql-server-ver15
I was inspired by #nthpixel answer, but it did not work for my db client DBeaver.
It did not allow me to run USE [master] and use [my-db] statements.
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/adding-users-to-your-sql-azure-database/
How to test your user?
Run the query bellow in the master database connection.
SELECT A.name as userName, B.name as login, B.Type_desc, default_database_name, B.*
FROM sys.sysusers A
FULL OUTER JOIN sys.sql_logins B
ON A.sid = B.sid
WHERE islogin = 1 and A.sid is not null
List of all users in Azure SQL
create a user and then add user to a specific role:
CREATE USER [test] WITH PASSWORD=N'<strong password>'
go
ALTER ROLE [db_datareader] ADD MEMBER [test]
go
I found this link very helpful:
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/documentation/articles/sql-database-manage-logins/
It details things like:
- Azure SQL Database subscriber account
- Using Azure Active Directory users to access the database
- Server-level principal accounts (unrestricted access)
- Adding users to the dbmanager database role
I used this and Stuart's answer to do the following:
On the master database (see link as to who has permissions on this):
CREATE LOGIN [MyAdmin] with password='ReallySecurePassword'
And then on the database in question:
CREATE USER [MyAdmin] FROM LOGIN [MyAdmin]
ALTER ROLE db_owner ADD MEMBER [MyAdmin]
You can also create users like this, according to the link:
CREATE USER [mike#contoso.com] FROM EXTERNAL PROVIDER;
I think the templates use the following notation: variable name, variable type, default value.
Sysname is a built-in data type which can hold the names of system objects.
It is limited to 128 Unicode character.
-- same as sysname type
declare #my_sysname nvarchar(128);
I have an MSSQL database and a "normal" user accessing it. When I try to use tables like sys.objects, I become a permission error:
select name from sys.objects
Msg 229, Level 14, State 5, Line 1
The SELECT permission was denied on the object 'objects', database 'mssqlsystemresource', schema 'sys'.
Why? The documentation says
In SQL Server 2005 and later versions, the visibility of the metadata
in catalog views is limited to securables that a user either owns or
on which the user has been granted some permission.
so I think I should be allowed to use sys.objects, even if it will list only the for me visible objects...
My user have been created with
CREATE LOGIN [factoryFX20_K_user] WITH PASSWORD=N'...', DEFAULT_DATABASE=[ff20121025], DEFAULT_LANGUAGE=[English], CHECK_EXPIRATION=OFF, CHECK_POLICY=ON
EXEC sys.sp_addsrvrolemember #loginame = N'factoryFX20_K_user', #rolename = N'serveradmin'
USE [ff20121025]
CREATE USER [factoryFX20_K_user] FOR LOGIN [factoryFX20_K_user] WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA=[factoryFX20_K_user]
The problem was ideed the same as in The SELECT permission was denied on the object 'sysobjects', database 'mssqlsystemresource', schema 'sys': my user had some "denying" roles.
The solution was to remove this roles of the user:
USE [ff20121025]
EXEC sp_droprolemember N'db_denydatawriter', N'factoryFX20_K_user'
EXEC sp_droprolemember N'db_denydatareader', N'factoryFX20_K_user'
Thanks Jon!
