SQL Server Management Studio can not list databases

Sometimes you may see the following error when attempting to list the databases on SQL Server using SQL Server Management Studio: The server principal "Your Username" is not able to access the database "A Database Name" under the current security context. This is caused by certain combinations of permissions causing SQL Server to deny access when getting a database's collation. There is a simple fix that can be applied to stop Management Studio attempting to get the collation. Once this is done once, it will not need to be done again on the same PC.
The database list should then appear fine. | |
