Hi all,

Here is my setup. I've got Database1 that has DBUser1. I've got Database2 that has DBUser2.

In Database1, I have a view that references a table in Database2.

The problem is that DBUser1 doesn't have access to Database2, so I get a permissions error.

"The server principal "DBUser1" is not able to access the database "Database2" under the current security context."

Normally, I'd just add DBUser1 as a user on Database2, which is how we have it setup locally. But on production, we are in a cloud and database users are not allowed to share databases.

Is there any workaround?

Thanks in advance.

then you need to set up linked server b/w dbs and then use mapped logins
