Automatic creation of database users and logins

I am working on a project where we are trying to automate user, login id creation for a database, based on their network (Windows 2000) id. When we create a new employee record, a database user (and a login if required) should be created in the database and allocated to a particular role. Adding a user to a role is fine. Is there a way to create a login and/or database user automatically (by running an SP or something like that)

Thanks in advance
Raj

I think you could use the system stored procedure sp_addlogin, and sp_addrolemember to attach this user to a role.

Hope this helps

You could also use Windows Authentication in SQL Server.
