Hi, I have created a DTS Package in SQL Server 2000, is there any way that a different user can edit and execute that DTS WITHOUT having server roles?

Thanks

User can execute package but not edit, needs sysadmin rights to edit package owned by other user.

There isn't other way to grant edit access to the DTS? Maybe a role with some permissions, or making the DTS with a public user?

You mean that in order to edit the DTS he has to do that steps everytime?

1-log off with his default account
2-log on with the new common account
3-edit the DTS
4-log off with the new common account
5-log on with his default account
6-keep working until a new DTS needs to be edited

but... I would have to create a new account for each DTS, because not all DTS must be accesed by everyone. I mean, I may have like 100 DTS and 40 users, some of them must not have access to some of those DTs, some other do.
I am not sure if I am explaining myself well

Why are you allowing people to change DTS packages in aproduction environment in the first place? Surely this should be done at the Dev environment level and then the DBA should be making the necessary changes to production (connections etc).
