    OPTIONS
    DB Access Modes
    SINGLE_USER – Single user connection to the database
    RESTRICTED_USER – Any number of users with db_owner or db creator or logins with sys admin rights can connect to the database
    MULTI_USER – Any number of users with rights to the database can connect to the database

    As you are changing the database access, you first need to take the exclusive connection database by dropping / rollback the existing connections.

    You can specify below options to rollback the existing connections.

    WITH ROLLBACK Options – Determines how the exclusive access to the database will take place
    ROLLBACK AFTER integer [SECONDS] – Rollback the SPIDs after a particular number of seconds
    ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE – Rollback the SPIDs immediately
    NO_WAIT – If all of the SPIDs do not commit or rollback immediately the request to put the database in an exclusive state will fail

    Examples

    ALTER DATABASE DBName
    SET RESTRICTED_USER WITH ROLLBACK AFTER 60 SECONDS

    ALTER DATABASE DBName
    SET RESTRICTED_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE

    ALTER DATABASE DBName
    SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE

    ALTER DATABASE DBName SET MULTI_USER
