How can i restrict the SA user

hi,
Is there any way to restrict the SA access. The problem is that all my
client machine users knows the sa password, and also right now i don't want
to change the password. So i just want to know is there any way to restrict
their access ? thanking in advance
ARHi
SA is not restrictable as it is the highest built in security account.
If security is so important, you have to change the password. Remember, if
you are using integrated security, domain and local admins are by default,
mapped to SA.

Make a new user and give him an appropriate permissions.
