| In SQL Server 2008, I would like to clone a login via T-SQL... this means taking an existing login with all of its properties and DB rights and create an identical login (with a different name and password). The use case is that I would do a minor tweak to the rights to suit the user.How best to generate this script? I don't see any options in SSMS to create this script...thx in advance! |

| Thx for the response! However, that script only creates the login and the server roles, but does not generate any of the database user mappings or any specific database permissions that were set for the original login. That's what I mean by 'cloning' a login; essentially create a duplicate login (except username/password) including all permissions etc.Given all the database user and schema objects that would need to be considered, perhaps this is too much to ask. :( |
