People Make Odd Choices

One of my favorite things about going to in-person events is just the time when we're sitting around chatting, out in the hallway, over at the vendor booths, maybe in the speaker room. Any of them.

Cloning Master Admin User Permissions in Amazon RDS for SQL Server with Fine-Grained Control

This article explores how to securely clone the master user permissions in Amazon RDS for SQL Server using a custom stored procedure, usp_rds_clone_login. It outlines a step-by-step process to generate, review, and apply a script that replicates server- and database-level access from the master user to a new login without directly exposing elevated credentials.

Designed for secure and scalable environments, this solution enhances operational security while maintaining administrative flexibility in Amazon RDS.
