A login without a DB User will not have access to the
database or will access to only databases that have built
in Guest users created (by default, guest users are present
in Master & MSDB DB). DB User without a SQL Server login is
not possible. Each DB User must be related to a SQL Login.

permissions on that database.

Database User MUST be
related to a SQL Server login.
