SQL SERVER – Change Database Access to Single User Mode Using SSMS

I have previously written about how using T-SQL Script we can convert the database access to single user mode before backup.

I was recently asked if the same can be done using SQL Server Management Studio.

Yes!

You can do it from database property (Write click on database and select database property) and follow image.
