Add your new user normally. Either as a Windows Authenticated account or as
a SQL User account.
Add that new user to the sysadmins SQL Server group inside SQL Server.
Just a side note on security here. I hope that this is the user account
that you will be connecting with moving forward and not something you are
planning on giving to everyone who uses the database. ;-)

database administrator that could administer all dbases. This would only be
used by one individual.
