Create a new user sql server management studio
Here are the steps to create a new user in SQL Server Management Studio:
Step 1: Connect to the SQL Server instance
Open SQL Server Management Studio and connect to the SQL Server instance you want to create a new user on. You can do this by clicking on "Connect" in the start page and entering the server name, authentication details, and other required information.
Step 2: Expand the "Security" folder
In the Object Explorer, expand the "Security" folder in the SQL Server instance you connected to. This will display a list of existing users, roles, and other security-related objects.
Step 3: Right-click on "Users" and select "New User"
Right-click on the "Users" folder and select "New User" from the context menu. This will open the "New User" dialog box.
Step 4: Enter the user details
In the "New User" dialog box, enter the following details:
- Login name: Enter a unique login name for the new user. This will be used to authenticate the user when they log in to the SQL Server instance.
- Password: Enter a strong password for the new user. You can also specify a password policy to enforce password complexity and expiration.
- Email: Enter the email address of the new user.
- Default database: Select the default database that the new user will use when they log in to the SQL Server instance.
- Default language: Select the default language that the new user will use when interacting with the SQL Server instance.
Step 5: Add the user to a role (optional)
You can also add the new user to a role to grant them specific permissions and privileges. To do this, click on the "User Mapping" tab and select the role you want to add the user to.
Step 6: Click "OK" to create the new user
Once you have entered all the required details, click "OK" to create the new user. The new user will be added to the SQL Server instance and will be available for use.
Step 7: Verify the new user
To verify that the new user has been created successfully, you can expand the "Users" folder in the Object Explorer and check that the new user is listed. You can also try logging in to the SQL Server instance using the new user's credentials to verify that they can access the database.
