I have a database that I am migrating, but when I do the restore all the users of that database are also migrated.
Is there any way to do a restore of the DB only of the data? Without the users/roles
Or any way to remove all users from the DB?
(This users i want to remove)
In total there are 15BBDD with +50 users.
In Management Studio, you can right click on your database, select Tasks then Generate Scripts...
On Choose Objects screen choose users you want to remove, or all.
On Set scripting options page, go to Advanced, find Script DROP and CREATE and choose option to only Script DROP
Select option to open in a new query window.
Next, next, finish and you'll have your script to drop all users.

I have a database Server with 10 databases. One of the users is with only access to 1 database.
I would like to add this user with all the permissions that they already have to all other databases. Is there anyway where I can do it?
Or do I need to create the same user for each database?
I am using SQL Server Management Studio 2018.
Thanks.
In SSMS go to securities (under database) -> logins
Then select your user and with mouse right click select properties. Then in new window select user mapping tab. Here you select all the databases you want them to give access to. (Here you can also set roles for them). Click OK and you are done. Now they have access to all the databases.
In SQL Server MNGT Studio 2012, we have a database that we only want to grant a specific user read-only access.
So me (being an admin), login into the server.. for arguments sake, the database name is SQLSERVER01
Then once logged in I see Databases, Security, Server Objects, Replication, Management, and SQL Server Agent. I go into the Security tab and go to Logins. The user that we want to give read-only access to already has a login. So I double click on their login. I go to User Mapping. Find the database that I want to give them read-only access to. I click the checkbox next to the database name, and below I give the user db_datareader and public.
So, I call the user and they're able to see the tables within the database, but if they were to right-click on a table name, they can still see the option that says Edit Top 200 Rows, and click it and see the editing gui for that table. Now I didn't test out entering data to see if they could actually edit or add data, because it's too risky.
So my question is, did I give this user the right access? If so, how do I grey out the option to 'Edit Top 200 Rows'? If not, what do I need to do?
Any help is appreciated.
SSMS does not query permissions to determine a user's capabilities or UI options. For example, you may not have DDL modification privileges, but it will let you attempt to script alter/create statements. You can't take away the edit rows option, but if they don't have the permission then the commit will fail when they try to move focus off the row they have edited.
If you want to see the effective permission you can use this function to view the resulting layers of grant/denies:

Generally, make sure the user's login has minimal permissions, then use roles at the DB level that have been previously reviewed/tested.
I seek a T-SQL script that selects all permissions for all users in an Azure SQL Database. In particular I want to generate permission grant/revoke/deny statements for all Views, UDFs and Stored Procs to recreate these permissions in an on-prem database.
One way to list the permissions scripts is to include them with the View, SPROC, and UDF definitions produced via the Generate Scripts... context menu option in SSMS. On the Set Scripting Options tab of the Generate and Publish Scripts wizard, click the Advanced button and set the Script Object-Level Permissions option to True.
Is there a way to rename database name in cPanel so the prefix with account name is dropped?
I tried to use Restore feature to upload a database from another server, but it added a suffix with account name, making it account_dbname. I just need it to be dbname.
Tried using MyPHP admin feature but it still keeps adding sufix when new name is given.
Thanks
If you are talking about MySQl database, go to phpmyadmin > select the database from the left sidebar , once inside the database, click operations >> Rename Databsase
For cPanel: If you want the same database user to have access to the renamed database, you should take note of the username already assigned to the database, which may or may not be similar to the name of the current database
In cPanel, click on MySQL Databases.
Scroll down to the Current Databases section of the page.
Find the database you are about to rename, and take note or remember the database user already assigned to the database. You will need to know this for step 2.
You can return to the cPanel home screen to begin Step 1.
Step 1: Renaming the Database
From cPanel, click on phpMyAdmin. (It should open in a new tab.)
Click on the database you wish to rename in the left hand column.
Click on the Operations tab.
Where it says "Rename database to:" enter the new database name.
Click the Go button.
When it asks you to want to create the new database and drop the old database, click OK to proceed. (This is a good time to make sure you spelled the new name correctly.)
Once the operation is complete, click OK when asked if you want to reload the database.
Step 2: Reconfiguring User Permissions
If your hosting plan has cPanel, then you will need to reconfigure user permissions.
Go back to the main cPanel page.
Click on MySQL Databases.
Scroll down to the Add User To Database section of the page.
Select the database from the list (should be the new name).
Select the database user from the list (the same one that used to be associated with this database).
Click on Add button.
On the Manage User Privileges page that appears, check the box next to All Privileges.
Click on the Make Changes button.
Step 3: Update Scripts
You may need to update any scripts or applications that reference this database, since the name has changed, if you want them to continue to have access to this database.
I have a database that I constantly need to restore.
Every time I do so, all the users that have access to DB are deleted and I have to manually add them again.
Is there any way that I can restore the DB but the users remain intact or any script that I run before/after the restore so that I don't have to manually add all the users again?
Before the restore, you can script the users as they currently exist. In object explorer, expand the database, expand security, highlight the users node and click f8 (object explorer details). In object explorer details, select the users you want to keep, right click and script as create to new window, clipboard etc.
Now run the restore, and when the restore is complete, run the script from above. If this is all happening on the same server, should work just fine as I described. If these are different servers, you may want to look into synchronizing server-level logins first.
Before you restore the database, use this script to script the logins and passwords: How to transfer logins and passwords between instances of SQL Server
Then, after you restore the database, execute the created script to re-create the logins
