    @downvoter: feel free to comment about what's wrong with my answer, so I can improve it. Simply downvoting isn't helpful neither for me, nor for the community. Commented Jul 22, 2013 at 4:08

    Can you clarify why using database accounts decreases security level? I was under impression that it's possible to set pretty harsh restrictions on users. And the linked response seems to indicate that using Active Directory credentials may be useful in some cases. (Btw, I did not downvote you). Commented Jul 22, 2013 at 16:03
  • @ikh: you can set harsh restrictions on users, but it's not an easy task and requires to understand pretty well how to administer the database. One mistake, and somebody, somewhere, has unlimited access to your data. Commented Jul 22, 2013 at 17:39
