SQL Server query to find all permissions/access for all users in a database
From SQL Server 2005 on, you can use system views for that. For example, this query lists all users in a database, with their rights:
select princ.name
, princ.type_desc
, perm.permission_name
, perm.state_desc
, perm.class_desc
, object_name(perm.major_id)
from sys.database_principals princ
left join
sys.database_permissions perm
on perm.grantee_principal_id = princ.principal_id
Be aware that a user can have rights through a role as well. For example, the db_data_reader
role grants select
rights on most objects.
This is my first crack at a query, based on Andomar's suggestions. This query is intended to provide a list of permissions that a user has either applied directly to the user account, or through roles that the user has.

1) List all access provisioned to a sql user or windows user/group directly
2) List all access provisioned to a sql user or windows user/group through a database or application role
3) List all access provisioned to the public role
Columns Returned:
UserName : SQL or Windows/Active Directory user account. This could also be an Active Directory group.
UserType : Value will be either 'SQL User' or 'Windows User'. This reflects the type of user defined for the
SQL Server user account.
DatabaseUserName: Name of the associated user as defined in the database user account. The database user may not be the
same as the server user.
Role : The role name. This will be null if the associated permissions to the object are defined at directly
on the user account, otherwise this will be the name of the role that the user is a member of.
PermissionType : Type of permissions the user/role has on an object. Examples could include CONNECT, EXECUTE, SELECT
DELETE, INSERT, ALTER, CONTROL, TAKE OWNERSHIP, VIEW DEFINITION, etc.
This value may not be populated for all roles. Some built in roles have implicit permission
definitions.
PermissionState : Reflects the state of the permission type, examples could include GRANT, DENY, etc.
This value may not be populated for all roles. Some built in roles have implicit permission
definitions.
ObjectType : Type of object the user/role is assigned permissions on. Examples could include USER_TABLE,
SQL_SCALAR_FUNCTION, SQL_INLINE_TABLE_VALUED_FUNCTION, SQL_STORED_PROCEDURE, VIEW, etc.
This value may not be populated for all roles. Some built in roles have implicit permission
definitions.
ObjectName : Name of the object that the user/role is assigned permissions on.
This value may not be populated for all roles. Some built in roles have implicit permission
definitions.
ColumnName : Name of the column of the object that the user/role is assigned permissions on. This value
is only populated if the object is a table, view or a table value function.

Here is a complete version of Jeremy's Aug 2011 query with the changes suggested by Brad (Oct 2011) and iw.kuchin (May 2012) incorporated:
- Brad: Correct
[ObjectType]
and[ObjectName]
for schemas. - iw.kuchin: For
[ObjectType]
it's better to useobj.type_desc
only forOBJECT_OR_COLUMN
permission class. For all other cases useperm.[class_desc]
. - iw.kuchin: Handle
IMPERSONATE
permissions. - iw.kuchin: Replace
sys.login_token
withsys.server_principals
as it will show also SQL Logins, not only Windows ones. - iw.kuchin: Include Windows groups.
- iw.kuchin: Exclude users
sys
and INFORMATION_SCHEMA.
Hopefully this saves someone else an hour or two of their lives. :)
