A developer was able to put a database into Single-User mode. After setting the database back to Multi-User mode I looked at his permissions on the database and it was set to read-only. It seems that by default all users can set a database to Single-User mode. How can I limit users from doing this in the future?

Thanks,

Daniel

What do you mean by "I looked at his permissions on the database and it was set to read-only"? Do you mean he has SELECT rights but not UPDATE or DELETE? Is the User a member of either a database or server level Role? I would think that issuing a REVOKE or DENY on the User's ALTER DATABASE rights would prevent any future changes.
