We have a user who wants to run Standard Reports, i.e. the Disk Usage report, on his databases. We want to avoid giving the user the sysadmin role, if at all possible.

Initially I would try allowing the user to the dmv's. VIEW SERVER state and VIEW DATABASE STATE.... DOH i got the "reload answers".. +1 Kev. To tie them down you can then deny SELECT on the dmv's you dont what the user to access... +1 still a valid answer though!
