Retrieving SQL Server Fixed Database Roles for Disaster Recovery

  • Article

We ran into a case recently where we had the logins and users scripted out on my SQL Server instances, but we didn't have the fixed database roles for a critical database. As a result, our recovery efforts were only partially successful. We ended up trying to figure out what the database role memberships were for that database we recovered but we'd like not to be in that situation again. Is there an easy way to do this?

BIT_COUNT I

In SQL Server 2025, I have a table (dbo.UserPermission) that contains this data: 

UserID  UserPermissions
15
23
37
What is returned when I run this code: 
select bit_count(UserPermissions) as PermissionCount
from dbo.UserPermission
where UserID = 3;
