Grant Permission to CREATE tables - SQL Server

Question

What is the SQL command for giving a user permissions to create (and delete) tables? I am looking for something similar to this:

GRANT INSERT, UPDATE, SELECT ON Customers TO Joe

I have spent some time Googling for the answer.

Answer 1

When I googled, I got right to TechNet . It looks like you want:

GRANT CREATE TABLE

As in:

USE AdventureWorks2012;
GRANT CREATE TABLE TO MelanieK;
GO

Answer 2

Two Options

1. GRANT CREATE TABLE TO Joe AS dbo
2. Add the user to the fixed database role: db_ddladmin
