Database access from multiple windows users

  • Hi,

    I'm new to using SQL express, and currently only using it in relation to another piece of software which needs an SQL database.

    I have been using the software, and it has been working fine (on windows user A).

    Now, I have created another windows user (User B), and would like to use the same software/database. The software launches fine (User B), but cannot access the created SQL database (created with user A)

    How do I setup the database to allow access from all users on the same PC?

    Any help is much appreciated!

  • What error message does User B get? Has their login been granted access to the database? (To check, expand the database node, then the Security node, then the Users node; is User B visible in that list? if not is User B a member of the sysadmin server role?)

    I don't think you can allocate permissions based on hostname. Do you have an Active Directory environment? It's usually a good idea to grant access to an AD group.
