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 h
Home > Tech Hub > The server principal ‘A' is not able to access the database ‘B' under the current security context (Microsoft SQL Server, Error:916) SQL Server The server principal ‘A' is not able to access the database ‘B' under the database is not accessible object explorer current security context (Microsoft SQL Server, Error:916) by Desiree Harris on July 1, 2008 sqlstate 08004 (error 916) Hi All! I ran into an issue that I could not resolve for two days and, with the help of MS, it is sp_change_users_login finally resolved. It was enough of a thorn in my side that I thought I should post it online in hopes that it will help some resolve it a lot faster. The error: The server principal 'A' https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee342155.aspx is not able to access the database 'B' under the current security context (Microsoft SQL Server, Error:916) The issue: This issue occurs with SQL Server 2008 RC0 tools. Using SQL authentication, I could connect to database engine but I could not expand the ‘Databases’ node. It would result in the error above. The issue is with SQL Server Management Studio itself, not the database engine or any other aspect of SQL Server. I could connect to http://www.sherweb.com/blog/the-server-principal-a-is-not-able-to-access-the-database-b-under-the-current-security-context-microsoft-sql-server-error-916/ the SQL installation from another server running SQL Server 2008 RC0, using SQL authentication, and expand the ‘Databases’ node without any errors. But I couldn’t connect locally using SQL authentication. In a nutshell: Server A – While logged in locally on Server A, I could not connect and expand the ‘Databases’ node successfully using SQL authentication. Server B – I could connect to the SQL instance on Server A and expand the ‘Databases’ node using SQL authentication successfully. Based on my current understanding of the issue at hand, there are several work-a-rounds to correct this issue. Hopefully, one of them will work for you. Work around #1: 1.Within SQL Server Management Studio, view Object Explorer Details window by selecting View, Object Explorer Details in menu (or hitting F7) 2.Right-click on the column header and unselect 'Collation.'3.Refresh the server in Object Explorer and enumerate the databases Work around #2: 1.Within SQL Server Management Studio, view Object Explorer Details window by selecting View, Object Explorer Details in menu (or hitting F7) 2.In Object Explorer window click at Databases folder 3.In Object Explorer Details window right-click at the column header and select ‘Reset view’. 4.Refresh Databases folder Work around #3: 1.Check the database options for the “Auto Close” setting. If it is set to “True,” change it to “False” and test again. Further explanation: Collation for a
- admin To fix this SQL Server Management Studio 2008 bug please do the following: Open SQL Server Management Studio 2008 Connect http://www.activeservers.com/page13702330.aspx 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 sql server 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 microsoft sql server 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
