A list of all of the users who have access to the server displays on the right

System Role. Double-click to select a role (Server User, Database Creator,
or Server Administrator) from the drop-down list.

Server Users have limited access to the server. They can log in and

access any databases that they have been granted access to, but they

cannot create or delete (drop) databases. Their permissions on each
OpenSpace database are governed by the database role they have

been assigned.

Database Creators can log in to the server and create databases.

Database creators have full access to the databases that they create,

including deleting the databases. Their database role on their own
OpenSpace databases is automatically XMap Owner. Their permissions

on OpenSpace databases that they did not create are governed by the
database role they have been assigned.

Server Administrators have full access to the server and any

database on the server regardless of their database roles. They can

add and remove server users and assign server roles to users.

Tip Users can modify their SQL Server Authentication passwords at any time using
the Change Password feature in Database Manager.
