The SQL server architecture isn't (and neither other rdbms architecture is - except of maybe the embedded ones) made like this - because the authentication/authorization mechanism is more complex than that. I suggest you read trough this article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb669078.aspx[^]

[update]
First of all, if you make windows application, don't tag your question asp.net.
Second: if you want to hide database content completely, sql server is not the best approach. As I mentioned, administrator (local windows administrator also) is superuser in sql server. And using sql server might not be the best choice in such cases for other reasons too. Encrypted database is a feature from SQL Server Enterprise, and I am pretty sure you won't deploy this edition for a windows application. With SQL server express you have no real choices. With SQL CE you have. See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg592949.aspx[^], but be aware to keep the password safe - which is really hard if you have to install everything on the client computer.
You have other embedded database engines to choose from, which have built-in, or third party encryption, such as SQLite: http://sqlcipher.net/[^], http://www.sqlite-crypt.com/?gclid=CLrd242v5bcCFVMQtAod23YAmQ[^], http://www.sqlite-encrypt.com/[^]

You are talking about software and you have tagged question as ASP.NET.Tag it properly.

Further,i recommend you to use something like role management.E.g. There are two users Gaurav(admin) and rohan(user),then revoke access if rohan logs in,and allow only if gaurav logs in.Apply database related functionality only to admin,not to normal user.

Refer to below links which are very important as per as the role management is concerned.
