I am creating a new read/write user on SQL Azure as follows:
-- Connected to master
create login [fred] with password = 'xxx';
-- Connected to my DB
create user [fred] from login fred;
EXEC sp_addrolemember 'db_datareader', 'fred';
EXEC sp_addrolemember 'db_datawriter', 'fred';
When I login using SSMS I get an error saying Cannot open database "master" requested by the login. The login failed.
What am I doing wrong or missing?
By default, SSMS tries to connect to master, but your new account does not have access to master; only the user database I presume.
On the login screen of SSMS, you need to specify the database name as well; just click on the Options >> icon, which opens up the Connection Properties tab. In there, specify the database name you are trying to connect to.
