    Hello all.. its been awhile and I have been way from SQL for a couple years.. Getting back into it now.  Quick question on permissions.  If someone is granted db_owner and db_datareader on a database, is their effective permissions db_owner?
    Just verifying that the permissions here are not setup as least restrictive

    Thank you
    Steve

    Essentially yes. db_owner can pretty much do anything in the database  - which would include select against all tables and views like db_datareader.
