Cannot add rights for Builtin/administrators (SQL 2000)

    Hi all,

    Problem: When tried to change permission for 'Builtin/Administrators'; "Error 15405: Cannot use the reserved user or role name 'dbo'" is displayed. I want to add permissions for a database role.

    It is an SQL Server 2000 system.

    Can anyone suggest to resolve this error?

    thank you.

    regards,

    develey

    the built in administrators group has rights to everything, so logically you shouldn't add or subtract rights to a built in group.

    you usually do this two ways, add a role, give it rights, and then add users to the role. in this example, the role members have access to just 2 tables, and can only update one of them.

    Exec sp_addrole 'MyRole'

    GRANT SELECT ON MyTable TO MyRole

    GRANT SELECT ON MyTable2 TO MyRole

    GRANT INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON MyTable2 TO MyRole

    EXEC sp_grantdbaccess 'Corporate\JeffL', 'Jeff'

    EXEC sp_addrolemember 'MyRole', 'Jeff'

    add a user, give it rights.

    here's an example of a readonly user i might create:

    if user_id (''MyUser'') is null exec sp_grantdbaccess ''MyUser''

    exec sp_addrolemember ''db_datareader'', ''MyUser''

    exec sp_addrolemember ''db_denydatawriter'', ''MyUser'''
