RE: Generating scripts for existing permissions

Hello,

As I know there is no simple method to generate the scripts to grant
permission to roles. You could use the query like following to get the all
permissions of roles:


SELECT users.name, object_name(perms.major_id) object,
permission_name, state_desc
FROM sys.database_permissions as perms
inner join sys.database_principals as users
on perms.grantee_principal_id = users.principal_id
WHERE perms.class = 1
and users.type='R'

You may need to develop some code to parse the result to generate the
script to "grant" the permissions to the roles.

Also, I'd like to know why you want to reconstruct the roles from one
database to another? Usually backup/restore, detach/attch database might be
the most efficient method to migrate database.

If both database have the exact same schema but with different data, you
could use SSIS or import/export wizard to copy data directly.

If you have any comments or questions, please feel free to let's know.
Thank you.
