Hello All,

What would be the best way to grant access to a group using SQL Server and Oracle databases into my database? I was thinking I needed to create a User group and create a password for it first, then I add user into that group via windows authentication. The problem is I never created a user profile like this before and I would appreciate if someone can explain the process to me. Thanks in advance.

If the users will be using Windows authentication, then no passwords are needed. Passwords are for SQL authentication.

Are your users already in a Windows group? If so, just add that group to the SQL Server and grant the permissions that they need.
