Malik, we, like Tom, allow and create Excel based queries to the data but this does not allow them access to the SQL Management Studio. In fact no one that I work with, other than me, has access to SQL Management Studio. As a user of GP, they need to be set up in GP as a User and if on the correct version, you can associate their AD login to allow them to use the Web Client. But at no time do these users get a direct line to the SQL Management Studio. Hope this helps.
