Fix orphan users

,

some times after restore database, you find your logins and users mapping is lossed and no user can now logon to database using application. I faced that many times. To map all your database users with master..syslogins. save this procedure in current database and execute it. All users will be mapped with logins.

CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.Usp_FixOrphanUsers AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @username varchar(25)
DECLARE fixusers CURSOR
FOR
SELECT UserName = name FROM sysusers
WHERE issqluser = 1 and (sid is not null and sid <> 0x0)
and suser_sname(sid) is null
ORDER BY name
OPEN fixusers
FETCH NEXT FROM fixusers
INTO @username
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
EXEC sp_change_users_login 'update_one', @username, @username
FETCH NEXT FROM fixusers
INTO @username
ENDCLOSE fixusers
DEALLOCATE fixusers
END
