new database for sql server 2008 r2

  • I want to add a new database to an existing sql server 2008 r2 instance. I then want to write report builder 3.0 reports to access the database by using a shared datasource.

    My problem is I setup the database using ssis 2008 r2 manager and let the database be created with all the defaults. Now when I write a report builder 3.0, the data source does not know who I am. The database only knows me as the dbo. It will not let me add and/or change any user roles.

    Thus can you tell me how to setup a new database with the appropriate persmissions so a report builder 3.0 report will know who I am?

  • Wendy,

    You paint a very confusing picture.

    You created a database. Defaults of not I doubt you did anything wrong there.

    I am guessing you created it as a user with sysadmin server role.

    If you are connecting to the server using integrated or trusted security you have access.

    I'm guessing you are trying to come in as a SQL Login..

    Can you tell us what error you are getting specifically?

  • My problem on the database that I setup, is when I take all the defaults, the new database thinks I am dbo. I can not assign myself to any other roles. I want to be able to assign myself to other roles so I can be the user of the report builder.

    Thus so I can generate the report builder report, is there something I can do to make myself not the dbo on this database? If so, how would I solve this problem?

    If not, do I need to create a new database? If so, how can I change the roles so I am not the dbo? Who should I assign the dbo role to if this is required?

    I basically created the database using the following links:
