There was a previous post with the same title that is now locked. http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/aa87ac52-d7b1-40e3-b6d0-063472b127df/how-to-ignore-users-in-vs-11-sql-server-database-project-publish?forum=vstsdb
The work arounds are not solutions, they are work arounds. The schema compare is cool, but cumbersome for this.
This is regarding the publish database options. We need to be able to drop objects from a database project and know that they will be removed from the database on publish. At the same time we need to know that users will NOT be dropped.
There is an option to Drop objects from target that are not in the project (source) however this option will also remove users. No one that I know of (and me for sure) manages their uses in a DB Project. Users are managed by the DBA at the server using SSMS not in VS.
It appears Microsoft forgot to add the option "Ignore Users"
This has to be fixed and since I couldn't vote on the previous thread I thought I'd get a new one started to get this question back up the chain. We just updated SSDT and I assumed this would be part of that update, but Microsoft ignored me again.
When will this be put into the product? How can we move it up in priority?
