Details Product Name SQL Server Event ID 916 Event Source MSSQLSERVER Component SQLEngine Symbolic Name NOTUSER Message Text The server principal "%.*ls" is not able to access the database "%.*ls" under the current security context. Explanation The login does not have sufficient permissions to connect to the named database. Logins that can connect to this instance of SQL Server but that do not have specific permissions in a database receive the permissions of the guest user. This is a security measure to prevent users in one database from connecting to other databases where they do not have privileges. This error message can occur when the guest user does not have CONNECT permission to the named database and the trustworthy property is not set. This error message can occur when the guest user does not have CONNECT permission to the named database. When CONNECT permission to the msdb database is denied or revoked, SQL Server Management Studio can receive this error when Object Explorer tries to show the Policy Based Management status of each database. Object Explorer uses the permissions of the current

from Object Explorer. The error message is "The server principal "Login Name" is not able to access the sp_change_users_login database "database name" under the current security context. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 916)." In this tip I will explain the root cause of this issue and how to fix https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee342155.aspx it. Solution You can experience Error 916 when you connect to SQL Server using SSMS with limited access such as db_datareader, db_datawriter or db_owner for a specific database. Reasons for SQL Server Error 916 Here are some possible reasons for SQL Server Error 916: A login does not have permission to view data of a column selected in the header https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2761/sql-server-management-studio-error-916/ A database is offline and/or its collation is NULL Multiple databases with different collations are on the instance and SSMS is unable to retrieve the collation because a database is configured to auto-close Reproduce and Correct SQL Server Error 916 Step 1: Connect the SQL Server using SSMS. Step 2: Click on Object Explorer Details option from the View Menu or press F7. Step 3: Double click on the Databases folder. Step 4: In the image below you can see there are multiple columns like Name, Policy Health State, Collation, Data Created, Last Backup Date, Size (MB), Data Space Used (KB), Index Space Used (KB), etc. in the column header, but no user defined databases are being displayed. Step 5: Before fixing the error, let's see if we can find the root cause of the issue. To do so I connected SQL Server again with SSMS using the SA account and found that the collation is NULL for two user defined databases as shown below.

E.g. are you trying to attach a MDF file from a SQL Server 2008 to a SQL Server 2005 ?? –marc_s Apr 9 '11 at 8:38 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 3 down vote The error you're getting and error 916 are different! (I am not an expert, I just read over the Internet.) error 916 is this: The server principal “username” is not able to access the database “databasename” under the current security context. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 916) Anyway, to resolve the 916 error: After starting Management Studio 2008, select Databases in the Object Explorer once. If the Object Explorer Details are not already showing, select View from the toolbar then select Object Explorer Details. Right click on any column header and make sure that “collation” is not checked. Refresh the database list by clicking the Refresh button located at the top of the Object Explorer Details panel. You should have now have full access to your database at this point. I (shamefully) copied from Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 916 and Resolving Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 916. And to solve the error you've written in your explanation try You may receive error messages when you use the Configure Distribution Wizard in SQL Server 2005. I hope it helped! share|improve this answer edited Apr 19 '11 at 17:39 Peter Mortensen 10.2k1369107 answered Apr 9 '11 at 7:14 ta-ru
- admin To fix this SQL Server Management Studio 2008 bug please do the following: Open SQL Server Management Studio 2008 Connect to the database server as normal Press F7 to open the "Object Explorer Details" window or click "View" >> "Object Explorer Details" In the object explorer details window expand by double click on "Databases" Right click on the header bar ("Name", "Policy health state", "Recovery Model", etc) and deselect "Collation" from the menu that will pop up From the object explorer, refresh the "Databases" For those of you who connect to database servers where you are not in full control over all databases, or where some of your databases are ever offline (or auto-closed), the new version of Management Studio that is shipping with SQL Server 2008 is going to bring you some surprises, when you try to present a list of databases in Object Explorer. It seems that the ability to do so is hinged upon the columns that are set up in Object Explorer Details by default. In the case I came across yesterday, the offender was "Collation." The problem is that for a database that is offline or has been auto-closed, collation comes back as NULL. Well, that's not really the problem... the real problem is that SSMS throws its hands in the air when it comes across NULL for these values, and assumes this is NULL because you don't have permission. So it throws up this error: For those of you that connect to databases that are hosted by 3rd party providers, some of which are accustomed to leaving as many databases in auto-close mode as possible, you are first going to have to go to Object Explorer Details, right-click the column header list, and un-check Collation. At this point, if you refresh the Databases node in Object Explorer, you should again see all of the databases on the server, even those where you don't have access. Strangely enough, OED still shows you some other data by default, t
