Database Role Properties (General Page)

Use this page to view or modify role properties for the selected database. This page is accessed in two ways: either by right-clicking Database Roles in Object Explorer and clicking New Database Role, or by right-clicking an existing role and clicking Properties. If you right-click an existing role and click Properties, some of the following options are not editable.

  • Owner

    Note

    All users are also included in the public role. Public membership is permanent and cannot be changed.
