Have you tried writing the restore as a SQL Agent job (with any security mods you will need) and granting him authority to run jobs on that server?

"Only members of the sysadmin fixed server role can specify the Auto_Fix option."

Try this on the DB *AFTER* they restore it. It's not "Auto_Fix" so it might work.....

DECLARE @username varchar(25)

DECLARE fixusers CURSOR

FOR

SELECT UserName = name FROM sysusers

WHERE issqluser = 1 and (sid is not null and sid <> 0x0)

and suser_sname(sid) is null

ORDER BY name

OPEN fixusers

FETCH NEXT FROM fixusers

INTO @username

WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0

BEGIN

EXEC sp_change_users_login 'update_one', @username, @username

PRINT 'EXEC sp_change_users_login ''' + 'update_one' + ''', ' + @username + ',' + @username

FETCH NEXT FROM fixusers

INTO @username

END

CLOSE fixusers

DEALLOCATE fixusers

Warren,

At the very least, the devs would need security admin perms, if not db_owner / sysadmin to use this proc.

True.

Then I recomend the OP package this script and do as Grasshopper sez.....

Thanks guys, I finished up creating it as a SQL Agent job and giving the person permission to execute the job which has worked fine.
