Groups and Permissions question

I am converting a relatively large multi-user Access 97 database to
SQL Server 2000. I use about a dozen groups to manage security,
providing graduated levels of access to each group. I read that in
SQL Server a user can belong to only two groups, "users" and one
other. If this is true, can someone point me in the right direction
as to how I could get around this limitaion?

Thanks,
Bob C.

Not true. You have have roles and a user can belong to many roles. I
use roles very rarely myself, so I decline to give examples. But the
stored procedures to look at are sp_addrole and sp_addrolememeb er.

I need to know if there is a way in Microsoft SQL Server 2000 to determine which Windows groups a user belongs to if logging into the database under Windows Authentication. I am making a tool to view all permissions of a user, but since most permissions are granted through groups here, I need to find an efficient way to look this up. Thanks in advance, Bas

I have looked at pgadmin and phppgadmin. Neither shows any capability to work with permissions for users/groups on databases/database objects. I thought it would be easy.! The screen would be a 2D matrix, objects down the left, users, groups on the top. Someday, I guess I'm going to have to make a script to do that, in php, since I don't write C anymore. If anyone knows of a graphical user interface to work with permissions, groups, and...
