Using SSMS you can quickly check all the tick-boxes for the databases that the login requires. This is on the "Login Properties" page, "User Mapping" section.

Does this give you what you need or do you need to set more specifics about the users?

thanks,do you mean Server- Security-Logins-user name-login properties-user mapping and tick the db for which the access needs to be given?

no - but if it was all the user databases on the instance, then a solution like @WilliamD is suggesting would work

Something like this may also work for you (try it out, it will print the commands that would be run):

DECLARE @DBName varchar(255),
        @User varchar(255),
        @sql varchar(8000)

SET @User = 'MyTestUser'

DECLARE DBUSer CURSOR FAST_FORWARD READ_ONLY FOR
select name 
from sys.databases
where state=0 --online
and database_id>4 -- not systemdatabase

OPEN DBUser

FETCH NEXT FROM DBUser INTO @DBName

WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN

SET @sql = 'USE '+@DBName +' GO '+'CREATE USER '+ QUOTENAME(@User) + ' FOR LOGIN ' + QUOTENAME(@User) + ' GO'

PRINT @sql
-- EXEC @sql

FETCH NEXT FROM DBUser INTO @DBName


END

CLOSE DBUser
DEALLOCATE DBUser

If this fits, you can uncomment the EXEC line and it will work. I'm going on the assumption you want the user to be called the same as the login.

add user to the database
