Hi All,

I have a created custom Database Role called Managers. This Role is member of db_owner role. I would like to remove the DROP Database and Restore Database privilege to this custom Role.
How do I do this?

Wouldn't you need to remove db_owner and then add the permissions you want? I don't think you can revoke drop/restore from db_owner.

thanks Tara.
I was thinking of adding db_owner to the Custom Role. Then run a DENY DROP Database Command to the custom role. But I believe there is no DENY DROP database command ? Is that correct ?

That was my point. I don't think you can do that. You probably can't use db_owner.

Grant the following for your custom role:

db_datareader
db_datawriter
db_ddladmin

Also grant the following:

GRANT EXECUTE ON schema::dbo TO {your custom role};

And also grant execute on any other schemas in the database.

This will give them pretty much everything except the ability to drop/restore databases. I would recommend that you test this out to make sure...
