A login without a DB User will not have access to the
database or will access to only databases that have built
in Guest users created (by default, guest users are present
in Master & MSDB DB). DB User without a SQL Server login is
not possible. Each DB User must be related to a SQL Login.

A SQL Server login allows a user to connect to a server. A
login is the base concept.
Database user is associated with a login to allow specific
permissions on that database.
DB user without SQL Server login: not possible to create, a
Database User MUST be
related to a SQL Server login.
