Hi - this should be a very simple task but I am really struggling as I am not a DBA nor do I have any formal training. I have admin access to a SQL Server DB and can login successfully with no problems. I am just trying to create new users to the DB so they can login and run queries and also write to the DB.
Here's what I've done so far: Logged in successfully to DB using my admin account, right-clicked on the Security folder in the DB I want to add new users to and select New...User. I then selected Windows user as User type, found the windows user name using the ellipse button for User name, same thing for Login name and for Default schema, I selected all roles.
When I try to login to the DB using the new id, it says login failed. I am sure I'm doing something wrong and this is a very simple fix but again, I am not a DBA and this process is apparently non-intuititive for a non-DBA person...Can someone please help me.
Thank you in advance!
