Server Roles

Fixed server roles can be mapped to the more granular permissions:

 

1.bulkadmin. Granted: ADMINISTER BULK OPERATIONS.
2.dbcreator. Granted: CREATE DATABASE.
3.diskadmin. Granted: ALTER RESOURCES.
4.processadmin. Granted: ALTER SERVER STATE, ALTER ANY CONNECTION.
5.securityadmin. Granted: ALTER ANY LOGIN.
6.serveradmin. Granted: ALTER SETTINGS, SHUTDOWN, CREATE ENDPOINT, ALTER SERVER STATE, ALTER ANY ENDPOINT, ALTER RESOURCES.
7.setupadmin. Granted: ALTER ANY LINKED SERVER.
8.sysadmin. Granted with GRANT option: CONTROL SERVER.

 

Note: Fixed server roles are server-wide in their scope. Each member of a fixed server role can add other logins within the role.

 

Server roles are edited within Server Roles Editor. In order to run the editor you should either

 

select the server role for editing in the explorer tree (type the first letters of the server role name for quick search);
select the Edit Server Role item from the popup menu

or

open the server in Server Editor and the Server Roles tab there;
select the server role to edit;
press the Enter key or select the Edit Server Role item from the popup menu (alternatively, you can use the corresponding link of the Navigation Bar).
