grant permission to a user to create application roles

Question

how to grant permission to a user to create application roles? i used :

grant execute on sp_addapprole to bobDBUser , but it says :

Permissions on server scoped catalog views or system stored procedures or extended stored procedures can be granted only when the current database is master.

then i changed to master database. then on executing this, it says that user bobDBUser not found. because the user was created inside bobDB, not master. so how do i do it for bobDB?

Answer 1

You need to create the same user on master.
