Hi,
Does anyone ever have the problem to view Databases from enterprise manager? Any user permission is needed except SA right?

Thanks,

-Wendy

I'm not sure what you're asking, but if you're sa on all your registered servers then you can see everything.

What do you want them to do?

You can give them dbo, which means they can do anything to that database, or they can have just datawriter which will allow them to modify data, or they can be just datareader so the can only perform read only operations.

What do they have now?

users are only allowed to view databases they have permissions to

to enable them to view the other databases, you need to grant them access

The issue is the user is the DBO for the DBs, but at database fold in the enterprise manager there is any database listed.

Thx,

Wendy,

Where are you from?

Your wording is a bit misleading.

I assume you mean

but at database folder in the enterprise manager there isn't any databases listed.

Did they register the Server? Do they have the right instance?

Sorry, it is what I mean “at the database folder in the enterprise manager there isn't any databases listed".

Yes, they registered the Server for the right instance and they can connect the query analyze to view all tables etc. with no issues.

Thx

Are these datbases restored from a different server?

No. All DBs were there and users had no this issue before. There are no any permissions changed recently in the server.

ah, i misinterpreted the first post from wendy

so what you're saying is that the dbo is not able to view the objects in EM but can in QA?

Have you tried removing the user and adding it back with DBO privilege? If yes and still problem exists, what we did before is to have the tools reinstalled.

Hi,

By working with Microsoft Support, this issue has been fixed. The reason for EM failing under this user account is for some reason this user has access denied on TEMPDB.

Thanks all for your help.
