Script DB Level Permissions v4.3

,

This is a replacement for http://www.sqlservercentral.com/scripts/Security/71562/ which is corrupt and SSC cannot get it to be editable for me.

This T-SQL code will script out database and object level permissions to help make it easier to backup and restore databases, and subsequently restore the permissions.  A primary use case would be to restore a production database to a lower environment where users have more permissions in the lower environment.  

You could then:

1. Script out the permissions using this script in the lower environment.

2. Restore the database.

3. Restore the permissions from the output from step 1.

It seems to work on SQL 2005-2016, so have at it and let me know in the comments if you come across any problems, and I'll be sure to update the script.

Hope you enjoy!

Steve

/*

This script will script the role members for all roles on the database.

This is useful for scripting permissions in a development environment before refreshing
   development with a copy of production.  This will allow us to easily ensure
   development permissions are not lost during a prod to dev restoration.

Updates:
2017-07-10 v4.3:
I was unable to easily get this into a stored procedure / powershell script, so this update includes the changes/updates noted here:
1. Incorporated Andrew G's updates from previous feedback (Much delayed to being updated on the main script page).  Thanks Andrew!
2. danmeskel2002 recommended a fix for the SID issue for "SQL User without login".   
Changed this line:
SID = '' + CONVERT(varchar(1000), sid) 
to
SID = '' + CONVERT(varchar(1000), sid, 1)

2016-10-31:  AG 1. Added extended stored procedures and system object permissions for master database in OBJECT LEVEL PERMISSIONS area by removing join to sys.objects and using functions instead
            2. Added EXISTS check to all statements
            3. Added CREATE ROLE before adding principals to roles 

2016-08-25:  AG 1. Remove default database being specified for an AD group user as this option causes a failure on create

2015-08-21:
         1. Modified section 3.1 to load to a temp table and populate different users based on an error in 2005/2008 because of the update made for contained databases.  Thanks to Andrew G for pointing that out.
         2. Altered section 4.1 to include COLLATE DATABASE_DEFAULT in the join statement.  Thanks to Andrew G and PHXHoward for pointing that out.


2015-06-30: 
         1. Re-numbered all sections based on additional updates being added inline.
         2. Added sections 8, 8.1; From Eddict, user defined types needed to be added.
         3. Added sections 4, 4.1; From nhaberl, for orphaned users mapping (if logins don't exist, they will not be created by this script).
         4. Updated section 3.1; From nhaberl, updated to include a default schema of dbo. 

2014-07-25: Fix pointed out by virgo for where logins are mapped to users that are a different name.  Changed ***+ ' FOR LOGIN ' + QUOTENAME([name]) +*** to ***+ ' FOR LOGIN ' + QUOTENAME(suser_sname([sid])) +***.

2014-01-24: Updated to account for 2012 contained db users

2012-05-14: Incorporated a fix pointed out by aruopna for Schema-level permissions.

2010-01-20:   Turned statements into a cursor and then using print statements to make it easier to 
      copy/paste into a query window.
      Added support for schema level permissions


Thanks to wsoranno@winona.edu and choffman for the recommendations.
