I asked a similar question before, but this one is specific to Development, not migrating to production.

When logged in as a domain user on my Windows 7 computer, and starting up an EF 4.1 project, I get an error, because Entity Framework cannot create a database in ‘dbo.master’ in my local instances of SQL Express.

If I take the same project and run it as local admin on my Windows 7 laptop it works perfectly.

What do I need to do to my Windows 7 Desktop in order to grant EF 4.1 the rights to drop/create databases on my local instance of SQL Express?

    You could add your domain user to the dbcreator role on your local instance of SQL Express. Or if you want full rights, add yourself to dbo role.

    See this SO answer: SQL Server 2008 Express Grant User Permission

    Or you could add your Domain User account to the machines local admin account. But that has wider implications (obviously).
