Trying to set user level permissions on a few stored procedures and any security I set, it doesn't seem to do anything and user can get to anything. We are running s1l 2005 and have windows and sql intergrated security so I add a windows domain user via smss and when I go to user mapping and select that database, it automatically checks the dbo role along with public. When I uncheck dbo role and try to save, it gives me the following error: sql server 2005 drop member failed for database role 'dbo_owner'. I have another sql server and it works fine. Can't seem to find where and why it might be doing this? Thanks, Joe
