Tip:The first time AdminStudio is run, anyone can create an SQL Server database (providing they have access to an SQL Server and database creation rights). However, once an AdminStudio Application Catalog has been created, the database creator becomes the Application Catalog administrator, and security rights are in place in AdminStudio.
