    Hi,

    As Olaf said, users need to call the ALTER DATABASE [..] command to Add/Remove/Modify the database files/filegroups, and at least ALTER permission on the database is required.
    ALTER DATABASE (Transact-SQL) File and Filegroup Options

    Except for members of certain fixed server roles (sysadmin, dbcreator) or database roles (db_owner) that have this permission, you need to manually grant the user this permission (GRANT ALTER ON DATABASE:: test TO user).
