You can assign SQL Server users to database roles using sp_addrolemember:

    USE SDE
    EXEC sp_addrolemember 'Viewer', 'SomeUser'
    GO

Permissions are entirely application specific. I assume these roles are
pre-defined by the app and appropriate object permissions assigned. Your
application documentation should specify if any additional permissions (e.g.
CREATE) are needed by application users. If the app doc doesn't contain
this information and you have security issues, I suggest to contact the
vendor for clarification of security requirements. You might get lucky with
a knowledgeable ESRI user in this forum but your vendor is the authoritative
source.
