What should be done with a single user in SQL Server?
If you want to create a single user in SQL Server, you can follow the steps below:
- Open SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and connect to your SQL Server instance.
- Expand the “Security” folder in the File Explorer.
- Right click on the “Login Name” folder and choose “Create New Login Name”.
- On the “Username” page, input a login name that can be any name of your choice.
- Choose “SQL Server Authentication” on the “Select Page”.
- Provide a password and confirm it.
- Choose the appropriate server role on the “Server Role” tab, or if you are not sure, please keep the default setting.
- On the “User Mapping” tab, select the desired database and assign the corresponding role or permissions to that user.
- Click “confirm” to create the user.
You have now successfully created a single user, assigned the appropriate permissions and roles. The user can now access SQL Server using the provided username and password.
