• in that case, everyone who has CREATE DATABASE permissions must also have INSERT permissions on the logging table

    INSERT adminlog.dbo.dba_ddl_events

    no insert permissions (line 13, right, like the error said?) would cause the rollback.

    you could get around that using EXECUTE AS in my first example.
