Question

So I’m not able to user enterprise manager to do this… If I was I wouldn’t even be asking this question. So I’m wondering if there is a way through TSQL to execute a command that maps a User to a particular Database and grants them ‘owner’ permissions.

Thanks…

Change default database of a login:

alter login <loginname> with default_database = <dbname>;

Create a user in a database for a given login:

use <dbname>;
create user <username> from login <loginname>;

Make a user member of db_owner group:

use <dbname>
exec sp_addrolemember 'db_owner', '<username>';

Make a login ‘dbo’ of a database:

alter authorization on database::<dbname> to <loginname>;
