If it is desired to use in the installation process of the DAM Center an SQL user that does not have the sysadmin role, then the database needs to be pre-staged before the installation. By using this option the installation process will use the admin_company_dam user (see below for SQL roles).

The following has to be created (company below = your company's name):

Both users need to be db_datareader and db_datawriter on each of the two databases. Furthermore each user should be db_owner on it's respective database (i.e. admin_company_dam needs to be db_owner on Company_dam).
