I’m trying to deploy a website in server. But it doesn’t work it says user doesn’t have permission. I try running it from Visual studio in the same server without any changes it works fine. I am using sql sever authentication, I also set the user as the dbowner.
This is the error message I am Getting:

How can I fix it?
The error is a database permission error. Do you have the appropriate permissions set up on the sql server that the webserver is pointing to? Also, if the connection string is in your web.config file, make sure it is not pointing to your local db instance.
