Hi,

Idealy I want to grant helpdesk group "reset password" for sql logins
permission only. Is this possible? Do I have to add them to securityadmin
which can grant, deny etc?

Thanks,
Sarah

Consider granting the ALTER ANY LOGIN permission to the help desk group.

Or create a stored procedure with the ALTER LOGIN statement and grant them
execute permission to the procedure.
