sp_revokedbaccess [ @name_in_db = ] 'name'

Arguments

[ @name_in_db = ] 'name': Is the name of the database user to be removed. name is a sysname with no default. name can be the name of a server login, a Windows login, or a Windows group, and must exist in the current database. When you specify a Windows login or Windows group, specify the name by which it is known in the database.

Return Code Values

Remarks

When the database user is removed, the permissions and aliases that depend on the user are also removed.

sp_revokedbaccess cannot be executed within a user-defined transaction.

Permissions

Requires ALTER ANY USER permission on the database.

Examples

The following example removes the database user mapped to Edmonds\LolanSo from the current database.
