Multiple users with the same default "schema"

Probably quite a simple one, have patience...I'm just learning the
ropes with SQL Server...
I want to grant new users access to an existing database, owned by
user X. So far this works, but user Y has to include X's username
before any object names. For example
select * from cd_collection;
does not work, Y has to use
select * from X.cd_collection;
instead. Any advice on how to add new users (with varying permissions)
to an existing "schema" so that they would have the schema as default
one? SQL Server version is 7.0.Hi
In SQL Server 7 or 2000 you can not change this.
Kalen Delaney wrote an article in the April SQL Server magazine " "Object
Ownership and Security" (InstantDoc ID 41773), I talked about the confusions
and limitations surrounding SQL Server 2000's model, which doesn't separate
the concepts of user and schema." This also talks about the changes in SQL
Server 2005 (Yukon).
