Set permisson user allow connect with application, don't allow connect with ssms

  • Hello, guys.

    I use .net to code, can i set permisson a sql user only can connect in connection string in .net code, and not allow that user login with ssms ?

  • If a user knows the right login and the right location to use, they can connect with any tool at all.

    There's no easy way to deal with what you're asking for. You could try using Logon Triggers to capture the app and prevent the user from connecting. You could set up the XESmartTarget and use that to capture the logons and then respond with a disconnect or some message or something. Neither is going to be simple.

    yeah, that why i need for help. With simple user, not need to be worry. But with some user have knowledge, it seem to be serious problem about security database.

  • Is there a specific reason you want to have individual users accessing the database? If you are developing a .NET application would it be better to have one application login that had the appropriate permissions on tables and/or stored procedures and a "users" table that controls access to the application?
