Creating a database user for Amazon RDS for SQL Server (original) (raw)

You can create a database user for your Amazon RDS for Microsoft SQL Server DB instance by running a T-SQL script like the following example. Use an application such as SQL Server Management Suite (SSMS). You log into the DB instance as the master user that was created when you created the DB instance.

--Initially set context to master database
USE [master];
GO
--Create a server-level login named theirname with password theirpassword
CREATE LOGIN [theirname] WITH PASSWORD = 'theirpassword';
GO
--Set context to msdb database
USE [msdb];
GO
--Create a database user named theirname and link it to server-level login theirname
CREATE USER [theirname] FOR LOGIN [theirname];
GO

For an example of adding a database user to a role, see Adding a user to the SQLAgentUser role.
