In the new login dialog of the SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express, what is the User Mapping actually doing? Am I restricting access to those databases that are checked? What if I check none?
It's mapping user rights to specific databases. If you don't check any, that user won't have rights to any database unless it is in a server role that allows rights to individual databases.

Our software requires the business users (of the software) to have read and write access to the database (MS SQL Server). The users are added to an active directory group with this SQL permission. The business users also want to query the database as read only in SQL Server Management Studio. Is there a way that the user can have read write access to the database from the software and read only from the back end in SQL Server Management studio?
As the SQL server permissions are assigned to the Active Directory group, the users in the group will be able to have the same permissions irrespective of from where they are accessing the database (from the software or MS SQL server management studio)
The permissions cannot be changed based on from where the users are accessing the database
Is there any way to link tables from SQL Server to Access as read-only?
There's too much data to do an import.
While providing the credentials to choose the tables from your SQL database, you can configure this SQL user to have read only permissions.
Add tables to Access database (trough Linked tables)
Set SQL user (or Windows User, or Role) to "datareader" only. (in SQL Management Studio)
I use Sql Server 2008 R2 and SSAS.
After install SQL Server 2008 R2 i joind to domain .
And After Login with my domain user i can not restore database in SSAS.
I get an error windows with this message :
database administrator or server administrator permissions are required to execute systemgetlogicalderives.
i add my domain user to security in MSDB but it not work ?!?
when i login with local user it work.
How i can fix it?
You need to connect to the analysis services instance using SQL server management studio (make sure you use the analysis services option on the connection dialog) as a user that already has administrative permissions on the SSAS instance (it should have asked for a user/group when you installed SSAS)
Then once you are connected, right click on the server, select properties, then security. You can then add more users or groups to the server administrator role from here.
I installed SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express. When I login to the Database server using Windows Authentication.
I am unable to create tables or create databases. How do I grant the permissions for the users logged in as Windows Authentication to be able to create tables / databases?
In the Object Explorer look for the Security Folder at the top level.
Then under logins right click and choose properties of the user in question.
Grant them further access.
Running under Server 2008, SQL Server 2005 SP2 has the option to "Add New Administrator" from the SQL Server 2005 Surface Ara Configuration. This launches the SQL Server 2005 User Provisioning Tool for Vista. You are then able to grant privileges such as Server SysAdmin role etc.
When I do this the privileges are copied across and appear to be saved but when I return to this tool it is clear that they have not been saved. Anybody else experience this or know how to "make it stick" ?
It seems that the tool is simply not verifying that the privileges are already granted, and it's granting the privileges on every run, which is ok with me (you could check the members of the sysadmin server role.)
