When we set up SQL databases for our users they are secure. Your databases are exposed to others only if you modify the user access rights to allow exposure to others. That is most commonly done by adding Guest Access to your SQL database.
DO NOT add Guest User to your SQL database, as this will allow all other users on your SQL server to see your database.
Q: What should I do if you can see SQL Databases other than my own?
Please report this to our technical support department immediately with the exposed database name. We will remove Guest Access to protect customer data and contact the customer to inform them of the issue.
Q: How can I check to make sure that I have not added Guest Access to my SQL database?
To check if you have enabled Guess Access to your database, follow the steps below:
- Log into your SQL database using Enterprise Manager
- Navigate to your SQL database
- Go to the Users Node
- If you see Guest in the right pane, you have Guest Access enabled
