Adding users to log-shipped DB

Hallo!
After I configure log shipping between databases on primary server A and
secondary server B, is it possible to add new users or groups and give them
access to log-shipped DB on server B only? Since the DB on server B would be
in read-only mode I'm not sure if that would allow me to add users to that
DB.
I would like a group of users to have read access to log shipped DB on
server B so they can run reports,
but they should not have any access to that DB on server A.
Thanks
TomYou can make NO changes on Server B or it will break the log shipping..After
having thought about this for a few minutes, I don;t think you can do what
you wish... You must add the users to server A, that will get shipped to
server B. If you delete the users or change permissions on Server A, that
will also go to Server B...
It is a great problem to think about, and it seems that you shouldn't be
stuck, but I think you may be... ( Maybe Ron Talmage is watching and will
have a suggestion... He is very good at log shipping.)
