Aliasing users to logins

Using aliases enables more than one person to share identical privileges within a database. For example, to grant several logins the default privileges associated with ownership of a database, you can associate these logins with the database owner, making each login an alias to the database owner.

This topic describes how to add aliases to a login and how to navigate to aliased users.

A system security officer can update the aliases mapped to a login.
