How to Run SSMS as a different user

18 November,2021 by Tom Collins

Question : I've SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) installed and attempting to run it as a different user. I'm doing the Right Click on the ssms.exe  - but can only see Run as Administrator , not Run as different user .

 

Answer:    Run as different user is available It's actually available - but instead of Right Click , use       Shift - Right Click     .

 

Run_as_different_user

 

The alternative is to run through the command line  - which is  my preference - 

 

--example 1 : the full path to SSMS

--depending on ssms version it may differ on your desktop

RUNAS /user:MYDOMAIN\MYID "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 18\Common7\IDE\Ssms.exe"

--example 2 : using ssms shortcut

RUNAS /user:MYDOMAIN\MYID ssms
