We have to let our DBA's create the databases and logins so to avoid that
process we would just create everything in a single database.

Well, let's say that each client has 100,000 users. Would it be faster to 
search through 100,000 users or 400,000 users? Now lets assume that each of 
the clients wants access to their client information. Now you have to 
search on an additional field to generate the same amount of data.

It could be small but it might add up.

Why exactly does the manager want to do this? I just can't think of any 
good reasons but maybe I'm missing something.
