I am not creating a table but am getting CREATE TABLE permission denied in database

Question

I am using a Spring Boot application to read/write from a SQL Server database. Everything is working but I get a "CREATE TABLE permission denied in database" error every time I start the application even though I don't want to create a table. My database configuration class looks like this.

@Configuration 
public class DashboardDbConfiguration {

@Bean
public DataSource getDataSource(){
    DataSourceBuilder<?> dsBuilder = DataSourceBuilder.create();
    dsBuilder.driverClassName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");
            dsBuilder.url("jdbc:sqlserver://ip:xxx;databaseName=name");
            dsBuilder.username("AppId");
            dsBuilder.password("password");
    return dsBuilder.build();
}
}

My application.properties file has the following.

spring.security.user.name=userName
spring.security.user.password=userPassword

spring.thymeleaf.prefix=classpath:/templates/
spring.thymeleaf.suffix=.html

spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServer2012Dialect
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update

The actual error looks like this.

Is there a way to eliminate this error?

You find answer in this post How does spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto property exactly work in Spring? - you can set spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=none

That solved my issue but I still don't understand why using spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update causes the "CREATE TABLE permission denied in database" error. Does that mean that somewhere their is a mismatch between my configuration and the database? – ponder275 May 21 '20 at 15:38
"For example, the update operation will query the JDBC driver's API to get the database metadata and then Hibernate compares the object model it creates based on reading your annotated classes or HBM XML mappings and will attempt to adjust the schema on-the-fly." – K.Struga May 21 '20 at 15:49
