Creating the administrator users and connection in SQL Server for the BIS workspace

Creating the administrator geodatabase users

You can choose to add users to an enterprise geodatabase in SQL Server through Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. The geodatabase users are underlying enterprise database users and store the BIS feature classes and tables. You need to grant the appropriate permissions.

For more information, see Add logins and users to SQL Server.

For BIS workspace administrators, the following is suggested:

Administrator permissions

User Type	Role	SQL Server Permissions
Data Creator	CONNECT	CREATE TABLE CREATE VIEW CREATE PROCEDURE

The following scripts can be used in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio to create a new database user to store the BIS feature classes and tables, and grant the appropriate permissions.

1. Create user and schema.

   USE BISDB
   GO
   EXEC sp_addlogin N'bis', 'bis', @logindb, @loginlang
   GO 
   CREATE USER [bis] FOR LOGIN [bis]
   GO
   CREATE SCHEMA [bis] AUTHORIZATION [bis]
   GO
   ALTER USER [bis] WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA=[bis]
   GO
   

2. Grant privileges.

   USE BISDB
   GO
   EXEC sp_droprolemember 'gis_data_creator', 'bis'
   GO
   EXEC sp_droprole 'gis_data_creator'
   GO
   CREATE ROLE gis_data_creator AUTHORIZATION dbo
   GO
   GRANT CREATE TABLE TO gis_data_creator
   GO
   GRANT CREATE PROCEDURE TO gis_data_creator
   GO
   GRANT CREATE VIEW TO gis_data_creator
   GO
   EXEC sp_addrolemember 'gis_data_creator', 'bis'
   GO
   

3. Verify roles.

   EXEC sp_helprolemember 'gis_data_creator'
   GO
   

4. Verify role permissions.

   select dp.NAME AS principal_name,
    dp.type_desc AS principal_type_desc,
    o.NAME AS object_name,
    p.permission_name,
    p.state_desc AS permission_state_desc 
    from sys.database_permissions p
    left OUTER JOIN sys.all_objects o
    on p.major_id = o.OBJECT_ID
    inner JOIN sys.database_principals dp
    on p.grantee_principal_id = dp.principal_id
    where dp.NAME = 'gis_data_creator'
   GO
   

5. Verify user permissions.

   select USER_NAME(p.grantee_principal_id) AS principal_name,
    dp.type_desc AS principal_type_desc,
    p.class_desc,
    OBJECT_NAME(p.major_id) AS object_name,
    p.permission_name,
    p.state_desc AS permission_state_desc 
   from sys.database_permissions p
   inner JOIN sys.database_principals dp
   on p.grantee_principal_id = dp.principal_id
   where USER_NAME(p.grantee_principal_id) = 'bis'
   

6. Associate Login bis with User bis.

   USE BISDB
   GO
   EXEC sp_change_users_login 'update_one','bis','bis'
   GO
   EXEC sp_helpuser 'bis'
   

Creating the administrator database connection

You need to create an administrator database connection when the BIS workspace is stored in an enterprise geodatabase. Create a database connection in ArcCatalog with the BIS user; this will be the BIS workspace location.
