Question: What is the standard method for accessing back end data, which logon should you use?

Examples:

For example we have applications that require the user to login but then use an admin account to access the data from the backend.

But there are also applications that require the user to login and use those credentials to access the backend data.

Reason: We are in the process of creating an application that will require the user to login and would like to implement the more common method(standard practice) of accessing data.

If there are alternatives those are also welcome.

Note: This will be made in ASP.Net 3.5 or higher and may include Windows Applications(VB.Net) as well.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: I dont want to have two sets of credentials. What I am asking is which credentials are normally used to access the Database. For example one one application may access 2 or more database’s. Now would you use the same credentials they used to login to the application or would you use the admin account to access the data?

Edit 2: Maybe this should be a seperate question but if I ended up using integrated security to access the database would the user be able to simply connect to the database using his AD account? Either through an ODBC connection and MS Access or equiv.

    Why not just create a login table and a table of roles for the user? You can have a user be an Admin or a User just by setting their roles either in the Login table or in a separate table if a user can be more than one. Having 2 sets of credentials seems a pain to me.
