SQL Server - How to Grant Read Access to ALL databases to a Login?

Question

I need to give a new login read access to all 300 databases on a server. How can I accomplish this without checking 300 checkboxes in the user mapping area?

Answer 1

I just needed a user that will have access to all database with a data reader permission so i used this code: you will need to run the result from the query btw.

USE [master]
GO CREATE LOGIN [DOMAIN\USER] FROM WINDOWS WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE=[master] GO
select 'use ['+name+']
CREATE USER [DOMAIN\USER] FOR LOGIN [DOMAIN\USER]
EXEC sp_addrolemember N''db_datareader'', N''DOMAIN\USER''
'
from sys.databases

if you don't want to apply it on system databases just add where database_id > 6
