Home Forums SQL Server 2008 Security (SS2K8) Replacing individual logins with AD Groups potential pitfalls? RE: Replacing individual logins with AD Groups potential pitfalls?

  • If I have an AD user defined as an SQL LOGIN (AD\john.doe) with sysadmin privilege and is a member of an AD GROUP that is also an SQL SERVER LOGIN with only public privilege. What authority will this user (AD\john.doe) have when connecting to the server ADMIN or PUBLIC?
