Does database backup contain the user’s GRANT, REVOKE and DENY permissions?

The question:

I am migrating database to another SQL server.

I have scripted the logins from the source server and migrated them into the target server. Also, I have backedup the source db and restored it on target db.

Does database backup contain the user’s GRANT, REVOKE and DENY permissions?

The Solutions:

Below are the methods you can try. The first solution is probably the best. Try others if the first one doesn’t work. Senior developers aren’t just copying/pasting – they read the methods carefully & apply them wisely to each case.

Method 1

It does, yes, including fine grained permissions controlled via row level security.

You can confirm by inspecting the information exposed by sys.database_permissions
