Is it possible to use a new SQL Server User instead of a DBO user?

For better security, I would like to use a new SQL server user login with permissions to only execute queries on tables, SP's, functions, etc.  If possible, what permissions would be required to successfully manage the application?

Thanks,

Mike

Hello Mike,

Yes, you can restrict the database user and mojoPortal will still function properly. All included mojoPortal features use Stored Procedures so you should be able to limit the user to executing SPs. When you want to run Setup (for upgrades), you'll need to either switch to a different user account or change the permissions on the existing account because Setup will need to adjust the schema.

Hope this helps,
Joe
