This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.

The Userscollection contains User objects that reference Microsoft SQL Server database user definitions.

Remarks

A SQL Server user forms one part of SQL Server security implementation. A user represents either a SQL Server login or Microsoft Windows security account with data access privilege within a SQL Server database.

With the Users collection, you can:

  • Create a SQL Server database user.

  • Remove a SQL Server database user.

For more information about creating and removing SQL Server database users by using the User object and Users collection, see User Object.

When using the Item or Removemethod, the Users collection supports member identification using either name or ordinal reference syntax. For example:

Set oUser = oDatabase.Users("someone")

Or:

Set oUser = oDatabase.Users(2)

Note

Creating or removing SQL Server database users by using the Users collection requires appropriate privilege. The SQL Server login used for SQLServer object connection must be a member of the fixed role db_accessadmin or a role with greater privilege.
