Logins
Go Up to Supported Objects
Logins let you access your account. Your login account controls access to the server and all of the databases within it. Only the System Administrator or System Security Officer can create logins. Once you can log into a server, you need additional privileges to access user databases. Specifically, each database owner adds the login as a user or alias to the database.
