Remarks
SQL Server security roles establish rights to SQL Server resources for more than a single user and can be established within the constraint of a single database. Security roles can also grant permissions to an authenticated user for an instance of SQL Server. For example, the server role securityadmin has permissions that allow members to add, change, and remove SQL Server logins.
With the ServerRole object, you can:
- Assign membership in a server role to a SQL Server login.
- Remove a member login from a SQL Server security role.
SQL Server establishes server roles. New server roles cannot be defined by the user. For more information about a list of valid ServerRole Name strings, see sp_addsrvrolemember.
