Hi All,

I just installed MSDE on my desktop, I'm using Windows Only authentication and I connected through enterprise manager as such (i.e. not as sa). I'm given access to SQL server via an external team and I guess they have me in a global group.

Can someone tell me why I can't see an entry in sysxlogins for myself and yet I can login and create a database as myself?

thanks

Glenn.

You are most likely a member of window group BUILTIN\Administrators this makes you a sysadmin by default.

The SID against the database I created was different to the Built in Administrator one, and when I do a select suser_sname() it shows my user not the administrator.
