Remarks

Before removing a login, use sp_helplogins to identify user accounts that are mapped to the login.

Permissions

Requires membership in the securityadmin fixed server role.

To identify all user accounts mapped to a given login, sp_helplogins must check all databases within the server. Therefore, for each database on the server, at least one of the following conditions must be true:

  • The user that is executing sp_helplogins has permission to access the database.

  • The guest user account is enabled in the database.

If sp_helplogins can't access a database, sp_helplogins will return as much information as it can and display error message 15622.

Examples

The following example reports information about the login John.

EXEC sp_helplogins 'John';
GO
