dbo access

Hi,
We have a sql 2000 machine that we use for our internal
intranet. It houses about 10 applications. Each db need
a user that an application can use. Is it advisable to
make those particular users dbo as they need privs to
create tables, sproc, views etc...
What is the best policy that other dba are using
ThanksPlease review this:
