Greetings, we are trying to get some non-sa users access to check replication monitor in our non-production environemnt, and I followed the article in the technet doc here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms151221.aspx
The user is an AD account, he can access the servers fine and is in the replmonitor role in the distrubution database on the distribution server which is separate from the publications on another sql server and separate to the subscriber database on another sql server. These are all running the same version of sql server 2008 r2 enterprise/developer. When I have the user try to start replication monitor, it will start and show the distributor, when I try to have them add a publisher, we get the error "server xxxxx is neither a publisher nor a distributor, or you do not have permission to access replication functionality on this server". Any idea what I am missing here as the article looks straight forward. Thanks
