Great feedback. Thank you all. I also should mention that the application they intend to use needs to be a sysadmin on all of the database servers. I cannot see any logic of giving sysadmin rights to an account that inexperienced people can use.

The software also can run DBCCs before doing backups. I have all maintenance jobs set up and scheduled already, and they don't understand the impact DBCCs can have if they are run during peak times. Who do you think the users are going to call?

Do the admins know anything about differential and log backups or how to restore them? I can only think of "cons" and not a single "pro" to the idea. Thanks for letting me vent 🙂
