SQL Login The SOLIDWORKS PDM file vault database is hosted on a SQL server. When users log on to a file vault from a SOLIDWORKS PDM client, a SQL database connection is established using a SQL login account provided by the archive server. The SQL account must have at least db_owner permissions in all SOLIDWORKS PDM databases on the SQL server (i.e., the file vault databases and the ConisioMasterDb database.) Even if you specify a SQL account with very low permissions on the SQL server, this user will be assigned db_owner access to new file vaults. If you change the SQL login from a user with sysadmin server permissions (the sa user, for example) to another SQL user with low permissions, you still must assign db_owner access to any SOLIDWORKS PDM databases (the vault databases and ConisioMasterDb).
