Hi Tom.Mutchler



When I did my SQL Server Setup the 'dbo' user by default had the persmissions as shown in the attachment.



Database:Software Manager Database :: User:Dbo, sa :: Permissions:Public, db_Owner

Database:Wise Services Database :: User:Dbo, sa :: Permissions:Public, db_Owner

Database:Workbench Database ::User:Dbo, sa:: Permissions:Public, db_Owner



I had local admin access to the Packaging Snapshot machine. I did a network install so all the program files were living on my packaging server. So without local admin access to my snapshot machine Wise Package Studio would not launch with errors complaining about no access to database.



Not sure if this helps you...

Wise have never released any detailed information on SQL permissions, so when it comes to a question like yours, unless another forum user can volunteer the information from experience, your only other solution is to open a call with Wise support.

Alternatively, since SQL 2005 Express Server can also be used with WPS, and is free to download, why not consider using that instead, and avoiding the lock down hassles with a centralised SQL resource.
