Create an administrator: Create a user with the administrator role, for example ‘MendixAdmin’.

Set the server roles for the administrator: Depending on the tasks this user has to execute the administrator role should be connected to the following database roles:

	Create Databases	Create Users	Database Maintenance	Complete Maintenance
`dbcreator`	X
`diskadmin`	X
`processadmin`
`securityadmin`		X
`serveradmin`			X
`setupadmin`
`sysadmin`				X

Define the user mapping for the administrator: Associate all the databases related to Mendix with the administrator. The template for these databases should be dbo and the role of the administrator should be: db_owner.
Create (a) database user(s) for each Mendix application: Each Mendix application should have its own database user(s).
Set the server role for each user: Associate each user with the role public.
Define the user mapping for each user: Associate all the databases related to Mendix with their respective user(s). The template for these databases should be: dbo and the roles for each corresponding user should be: db_datareader and db_datawriter. Additionally, the user should be granted the view definition permission.
