Lost user permissions in a server move...

  • Good day,

    About a week ago, we moved the SQL Server 2000 sp4 from one server to a newer bigger sever.  First, I detached all DB's, restored the master, then the msdb and model, then started restoring DB's.  All was well, untill today, it appears that the permissions for the users were lost.  I can compare them against the production box, but I want to know two things...

    1.  What did I do wrong to lose the permissions (IE - default DB, Sysadmin roles for some, data write)

    2.  Is there a way I can see all the logins and the permissions they have at a glance, instead of going through each user to get each permission?

    Thanks in advance!

  • I take it that these were not Windows Account users?

    A login has an SID number which is unique to the box. SID 1 is the SA account.

    If you recreated the logins then used sp_change_users_login 'AUTO_FIX','YourUser' your permissions may have stayed in place I cannot say for sure.

    Personally I assign permissions to roles and make users members of the appropriate roles.
