You must create users to access a database and map them as Sugesh has noted.Read up on security in Books online to understand principals, logins, and users.Thu, 28 Feb 2008 08:34:19 GMTSteve Jones - SSC Editorhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic461457-146-1.aspxPublic is a database role.

Second problem is that whenever I try to create a new login on sql server, it is not showing "Public" role in server role option but as per the SQL server help, every login is initially created in "Public" role. So it should be visible there.Thu, 28 Feb 2008 01:03:51 GMTAshish-437288http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic461457-146-1.aspxYou do have the public role inside the database as database role.Thu, 28 Feb 2008 00:52:38 GMTChiragNShttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic461457-146-1.aspxHi All, I have recetly installed SQL server 2005 on new server box.
