permissions problem

Using sql server 7

I have a user x whoes login name is x
who has permissions of
public,db_owner,db_accessadmin,db_securityadmin

It seems that only the sa account can call the sp_addlogin,sp_adduser.

Is there anyway I can give permissions to my account x to do this

TIA

connect to your server with the account sa, and execute the following script:
USE MASTER
GRANT EXECUTE ON sp_addlogin TO x
GRANT EXECUTE ON sp_adduser TO x
