To add a database user
-
In SQL Server Management Studio, expand the server group, and then expand the SQL Server associated with the AVEVA Historian.
-
Expand Databases, expand the database to which you want to add the new user, then expand Security.
-
Right-click Users and then click New Database User. The Database User Properties dialog box appears.

-
In the User name box, type the new user name.
-
In the Login name list, select the login ID to associate with the user name. You can also select <new> and then type a new login ID to be added to the system at the same time as the database user.
-
In the Default schema list, select the default schema for the user. This schema owns all the objects this user creates, unless a different schema is specified.
-
In the Owned Schemas window, check the owned schemas for this user. (Schemas can only be owned by a single user.)
-
In the Database role membership window, select the database role to make the user a member of.
Note: All users are also included in the public role. Membership in this role is permanent and cannot be altered.
-
Click OK.
