user-settings

Hi there,

I am adding a new Login with SQL Server Authentication. I set its Server Role as public and then went into User Mapping, selecting the only database this user should have access to. I then change the Default Schema to dbo and made this user the db_owner.

I then connect to the instance using the new user's credentials and I can see not only the database he should have access to but all the other attached databases.

How can I limit this user to just see the database he has access to?

Thanks in advance!
