Security qusetion...

  • Is there a way to grant a users the ability to do backups and restores without withput macking them System Administrators.

  • Have you thought about adding them to the Server Role "Database Creators"?  That role has the following permissions: ALTER DATABASE, CREATE DATABASE, DROP DATABASE, Extend Database, RESTORE DATABASE, RESTORE LOG and sp_renamedb

     

    Thanks

  • Thanks for replying. I am currently looking at role option. I do want to do this only to specific databases on the server. Thanks for all your help.

  • You can do backups with just the db_backupoperator fixed database role. This does not, however, give you the ability to do restores. The only way to restrict RESTORE permissions to individual databases is if the user doing the restore is the owner of the database.
