Answer 1

You need to add database role memberships to the login.

Under your server, unfold 'Security', unfold 'Logins', right click on the login, select 'Properties'

Go to the 'User Mapping' tab, and select the DB you want. In the lower part of the screen, select the memberships (or rights) you want to assign to the login.

Edit: Or, since you already have a login connected to a DB User (TestReport), unfold Security > Users under the DB. Right click your user, and grant it rights in the lower part of the screen.
