Disable SQL Server 2012 Management Studio remote access I am trying to disable SQL Server 2012 Management Studio remote access from other servers. I have unchecked SQL Server Properties -> Connections -> Allow remote connections to this server. but still users can access SQL Server database through SQL Server Management Studio remotely.

I have a client app on all network computers which needs to access the database. I just want to block SQL Server 2012 Management Studio remote access.

Thanks.
Management studio communicates with SQL Server using the same interfaces as normal clients. You can modify user permissions so they can only read from certain tables, and can't write or alter.
