How to grant db_owner to a user in Azure SQL Server

Did you know that the users in the db_owner fixed database roles offer the highest permissions in a database?

In other words, users can create, drop, alter, write, or drop the database.

We can easily add a user in the db_owner role with the T-SQL stored procedure sp_addrolemember.

Our experts would like to point out that granting the db_owner role to a user in Azure SQL Server means giving that user the highest level of privileges within that database.

Furthermore, the db_owner role is a built-in database role. It offers extensive permissions and allows the user to carry out different operations within the database.

Briefly, users with the db_owner role have full control over the database. They are able to modify schema, create and drop objects, and perform data modifications.

Let’s take a look at how to grant the db_owner role to a user in SQL Server.

How to grant the db_owner role to a user in Azure SQL Server

1. First, we have to use a tool like SQL Server Management Studio or Azure Data Studio to connect to our Azure SQL Server database.
2. Next, we must open a new query window in the tool.
3. Then, we have to run this T-SQL statement:

   USE DatabaseName;
ALTER ROLE db_owner ADD MEMBER UserName;

   Here, we have to replace DatabaseName and USerName with the name of the database and the name of the user we want to grant the role to.
4. After executing the query, the user will have the db_owner role in the specified database.
