Yes I am new to this. I am the network admin. we have a consultant who built
the database for us. He is not available now. I wanted to give the product
manager access to the database in SQL. He is set there as an admin. He will
be doing some light configuration to our AD users. He is very reliable and
he is my boss. My question is how can he have access to the database from
his machine. I do not know how SQL works so I do not know to phrase the
question. I hope you know what I mean.
