Microsoft Sql Server Management Studio Error 15405
to install a CMs on my website and during the installation process, it says, no User or role 'sarin'. See here: i.imgur.com/Intaa.jpg –Cipher Jan 10 '11 at 9:15 1 The user 'sarin' is already db_owner of the database, there's no need to grant any further permissions. If you're still getting this error, then you're not connecting to the database you think you are, but since you've not shown any screenshots of the actual point where you supply server/db/username, or a connection string, it's a little tricky to diagnose further. –Damien_The_Unbeliever Jan 11 '11 at 9:20 add a comment| 3 Answers 3 active oldest votes up vote 32 down vote accepted This is happening because the user 'sarin' is the actual owner of the database "dbemployee" - as such, they can only have db_owner, and cannot be assigned any further database roles. Nor do they need to be. If they're the DB owner, they already have permission to do anything they want to within this database. (To see the owner of the database, open the properties of the database. The Owner is listed on the general tab). To change the owner of the database, you can use sp_changedbowner or ALTER AUTHORIZATION (the latter being apparently the preferred way for future development, but since this kind of thing tends to be a one off...) share|improve this answer answer

Alter Authorization On Database
just migrated from sql server 2000 to sql server 2005 and 1 of our production applications is failing on the sa login. I checked the 'User http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4644233/cannot-use-special-principal-dbo-error-15405 Map' setup to the 'sa' account and the databases that need accessing aren't mapped.When I try to add the map, I get error "Cannot use the special principal 'sa'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15405)". I get the same error when trying to remove a user map for sa (there are a https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/c2dc1237-5a33-48f8-9c11-e2c51424b198/sa-user-map-error?forum=sqlsecurity couple db's already mapped), and I don't remember how I mapped them in the first place, but it certainly isn't working now!Thanks in advance,102020 Wednesday, September 13, 2006 6:20 PM Reply | Quote Answers 9 Sign in to vote I found the solution!!

Thursday, March 15, 2007 8:29 PM Reply | Quote 0 Sign in to vote I have fixed this already, thanks though.The problem was that the db owner was the domain admin and not sa, so I couldn't change the mapping.Thanks,102020 Friday, September 15, 2006 4:10 PM Reply | Quote All replies 0 Sign in t

(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15405) Dec 31, 2007 03:43 PM|Snowst|LINK Hello All, I'm hoping someone else has run into this, because I can't findany posts about it that are helpfull. I just updated our Dev SQL 2005dbto be able to use new 2005 key words with the script: EXEC sp_dbcmptlevel 'myDbName' special principal sa , 90 This is all well and good until I notice mysa account no longer has a user mapping to my database.In managment studio when I go to Security - Logins - andsa properties If I try to add user sa to my Db I get the following errors: >>>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->>> Create failed for User 'sa'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo) Cannot use the special principal 'sa'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15405) <<<-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<<< I'm access the SQL Server through a client on my local machine, the Server is set to mixed authentication, actual check box is labeled Sql Server and WIndows Authentication Mode. Hopefully I'm just doing something dumb, which is highly likely since I'm a developer and not a DBA. Thanks in advance Reply Nai-Dong Jin...

(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15405) Jan 02, 2008 10:29 PM|Nai-Dong Jin - MSFT|LINK Hi, From your description, it seems that you are unable to use sa account to log
from University of Sindh, Jamshoro, Pakistan. Wednesday, February 1, 2012 Cannot use the special principal 'sa'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15405) Yesterday, I start SQL Server 2005 and try to connect with sa user but was enable to connect with the 'sa' user and got this error:Cannot use the special principal 'sa' (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15405)After doing some google, I found out the solution which I am sharing so that others can get all the possible solutions from this article.The titled message mean that your sa user is disabled. To enable it, you have to follow below mentioned steps:1) you have to change the authentication mode: go to Management Studio and open Object Explorer. Connect to your server and right-click on the server name, then select Properties. Go to Security tab and under Server Authentication select "SQL Server and Windows Authentication Mode".2) Also, after you follow the directions above, you will also need to explicitly enable the sa account as well. Go to Security->Logins. Right-click on the "sa" account, select "Properties". In the list on the left, select "Status" and under "Login" on the right, make sure "Enable" is selected.3) exec sp_changedbowner 'sa','true' in query editor after selecting the database whom you want to assign user sa.4) You can also change the password of sa (it's better to change the password).After performing all above mentioned changes, Exit with SQL Management Studio. Restart Sql Service from services.msc.Open Management Studio again and try to login "sa". Hopefully, it works. Enjoy! (Please comment if it work for you).
