Using sp_addsrvrolemember within a trigger

  • We are trying to make a call to sp_addsrvrolemember within a trigger and are getting the following error:

    Msg 15002, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_addsrvrolemember, Line 14

    The procedure 'sys.sp_addsrvrolemember' cannot be executed within a transaction.

    We realize that sql server creates an implicit transaction for triggers but can it be turned off in some manner.

    We've tried using SET IMPLICIT_TRANSACTIONS OFF before the call to the sp but it continues to fail.

    Is there a workaround so that the sp can be called within the trigger?

  • You probably should try another approach. What are you really trying to do with this?
