and the context it exists in. And what you want the user to do in the
database.
But assuming that your user has a Windows login to connect with you would
do:
CREATE LOGIN [Domain\Name] FROM WINDOWS;
go
USE db;
go
CREATE USER [Domain\Name]
Then you would assign the user the permissions he need. (Which I can't
detail, because I don't know what he needs.)
If you are in a workgroup, it's probably better to use an SQL login.
And, oh, the above syntax is for SQL 2005; another thing you did not detail
was the SQL Server version.
