Enterprise Vault™ Using SQL Database Roles in Enterprise Vault, Compliance Accelerator, and Discovery Accelerator

Changing ownership of Enterprise Vault databases

After a normal installation or upgrade of Enterprise Vault, the Vault Service account owns all Enterprise Vault's databases. As a result, the Vault Service account is a member of the db_owner fixed database role, which is not required for normal daily operations.

Use the following procedure and run one of these queries against each Enterprise Vault database, to assign ownership to another privileged user. Choose the procedure that is appropriate for your version of SQL Server.

use EVDatabase
GO
ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON DATABASE:: EVDatabase TO [domain\privileged_user];

or

use EVDatabase
GO
EXECUTE sp_changedbowner 'domain\privileged_user'

Where:

EVDatabase is the name of the Enterprise Vault database.

domain\privileged_user is the privileged user and the domain to which it belongs.
