Is there a way to stop the 'sa' user changing records inside particular table or particular db in mssql? My preliminary searches did not find me anything except cell level encryption. Is there any other way?
Requirement is to prevent IT users changing (inserting) records to gain access to system. other users can be prevented by restricting permission. but 'sa' user cannot. replacing sa with another account won't work as the person who has the other account would have potential to do the change and gain access.
