Answer: – The users who cannot access the linked server use standard logins, so you need to map a linked server login by executing sp_addlinkedsrvlogin on the local server.

(For users who use standard logins to access a linked server, you need to map a local login to a login on the remote server using the sp_addlinkedsrvlogin command.)
