How do I assign additional SQL users to my SQL 2000 database?

NOTE: We strongly recommend migrating from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005 or 2008. As Microsoft continues to move forward with SQL server technology, SQL 2000 will fall further behind the standard. It is no longer actively developed or updated, as it has been superseded by SQL 2005 and 2008. While we will continue to maintain our existing SQL 2000 servers, our recommendation is to upgrade your SQL service to a more recent version at your earliest possible convenience.

If you decide to migrate your SQL database we have a forum post on the steps needed to complete this process.

How to assign an SQL user to a database:
  1. Use the SQL User Manager to create a new MS SQL user in the MS SQL 2000 Manager section of the hosting control panel
  2. Connect to the database using Enterprise Manager with the default user (see this Knowledge Base article)
  3. Expand the Database node
  4. Locate the database to which you want to add the new SQL User
  5. Right click on the Users node and select "New Database User"
  6. In the Database User Properties
    • Type the user that you created
    • In the Database role membership, select the role you want to grant this user
  7. Click OK
