To use MS-SQL Server Enterprise Manager to add user ID login and user components, perform the following steps:

Start the Enterprise Manager by clicking your mouse on the Start button. When Windows displays the Start menu, move your mouse pointer to Programs, select Microsoft SQL Server 7.0, and then click your mouse on Enterprise Manager.

To display the list of SQL Servers, click your mouse on the plus (+) to the left of SQL Server Group.

Click your mouse on the plus (+) to the left of the icon for the SQL server on which you want to create the user ID. For example, if you want to manage user IDs on a server named NVBizNet2, click your mouse on the plus (+) to the left of the icon for NVBizNet2. The Enterprise Manager will display folders containing databases and services available on the MS-SQL Server you selected.

Click your mouse on the plus (+) to the left of the Security folder


Click your mouse on the Logins icon.

Select the Action menu New Login option, or click on the New Login button (second button from right) on the Enterprise Manager Standard toolbar.


Enter the new user ID into the Name field. For the current example, enter SQLTips.

If you want to use integrated Windows NT authentication to log in to the MS-SQL Server using the user ID you entered in Step 7, click your mouse on the radio button to the left of Windows NT Authentication. Then enter the name of the domain of the server on which the user name is defined in the Domain field. For the current example, use standard SQL Server authentication by clicking your mouse on the radio button to the left of SQL Server Authentication, and enter the password into the Password field. For the current example, enter 1001 for the password.

Note If you plan to use Windows NT authentication for a user ID, be sure to select Windows NT Authentication and enter the correct domain name into the Domain field. You cannot change the user name or authentication method for a user ID later without deleting the user ID and then re-entering it. If you select SQL Server Authentication, the user will have to enter the user ID and password prior to MS-SQL Server giving the user ID access to the database tables-even if Windows NT has the same user ID/password pair.


To select the default database the user ID will use when a session is established, click on the drop-down button to the right of the Database field and select the default database from the list of databases managed by the SQL Server. For the current example, select SQLTips.

Click on the Database Access tab. Enterprise Manager will display the list of databases managed by the SQL Server,


To give the user ID access to databases on the SQL Server, click on the check box to the left of each database to which the user ID is to have access. For the current example, click your mouse on the check boxes to the left of NORTHWIND, SQLTips, and PUBS until a check mark appears in each of the three check boxes.

Click your mouse on the OK button. The Enterprise Manager will display a Confirm Password dialog box if you selected SQL Server Authentication in Step 8. Re-enter the password you entered in Step 8. For the current example, enter 1001 and click on the OK button.

If you have additional user IDs to define,
