    Would it be a good idea to add guest to db_denydatawriter role in master database?! I wanted to feel safe with that account being there.


    Guest does not have permissions to write to any tables or views. Every user that isn't explicitly mapped to a user in master (which would be everybody by default... and there's not usually a reason to add a login as a user to master) comes in as guest. Guest is required in master and tempdb.
