    It depends on how they made the changes or what changes have been made to the permissions for that group. sp_defaultdb is being deprecated but still available and they may have been used. By default, Public has execute permissions. It could be a matter of removing those permissions from public. By default, alter login would not be allowed.

  • i noticed the user used "ALTER LOGIN" command to change default database. Is there any way we can prevent "ALTER LOGIN" execution? I tried with "DENY ALTER LOGIN" and still user able to change default DB.

    Thanks

  • If you did a deny alter any login but they can still alter the login, my guess would be that they are in the sysadmins role.
