dumb question

Hello, I'm an MSDE n00b but I do have a basic understanding of SQL Server
2000. I have used Enterprise manager to create/manage users/permissions and
replication before. I am however not familiar with MSDE. I am using MSDE
because I'm playing with asp.net. Since there is no user interface I am
lost. I created my tables and stored procedures via the Web Matrix asp.net
development tool.
1) I need to configure the MSDE 2000 installation user access. Its currently
setup for integrated windows authentication, which I want to keep. But how
do I add/manage the users and their permissions. For example with Enterprise
Manager, even with Integrated authentication, you have to add the
users/groups from your windows domain before SQL server can use them. Do I
need to do this in MSDE? how?
2) how can I view current user accounts on the system? and their
permissions?
3) while I'm at it here... how can I retrieve the currently logged in user
from my asp.net web application?
any info is appreciated. Thanks.
If you have a copy of Enterprise Manager on a different machine you should be
able to connect to the msde install and see it in the familar enterprise
manager.

bu only in development/test scenario... you are not licensed to use SQL
Server Client Tools in production...
you have to resort on home made tools and/or 3rd party tools to manage MSDE
in production...
