Note

If you do not want to grant the db_owner role to this account, you can grant the db_datareader and db_datawriter roles. Then grant access for the given login to execute stored procedures in the database by using the following script. Note that name_of_ACM_database is a placeholder for the name of the database that you created, and account_logging_into_ACM is a placeholder for the given login.

USE 'name_of_ACM_database'
GO
create role sp_execute
GO
grant execute to sp_execute
GO
EXEC sp_addrolemember 'sp_execute', 'account_logging_into_ACM'
