Hi

You could try using SSMS(SQL Server Management Studio) and run the below queries to get your permissions levels-

select * from fn_my_permissions(NULL,'server') --gives Server Level Perms

use DBName ; GO ; select * from fn_my_permissions(NULL,'Database') --Gives Database Level Perms

if you are not sure about SSMS, try running the below from you cmd-

sqlcmd -SInstanceName -E -q"select * from fn_my_permissions(NULL,'server')"

sqlcmd -SInstanceName -E -q"use DBName ;select * from fn_my_permissions(NULL,'Database')"

Note: Replace InstanceName with name of you Instance and DBName with your Database Name.

Once you get results, either try posting here or google out for required level of access.

Hope that helps!
