If you ever move a database from one SQL Server to another you may come across the situation where the logins no longer map to the users in your database (and that’s assuming that the SQL Server you’ve moved the database to has the same logins).
If the new SQL Server does have the same logins then you can fix the mapping by using sp_change_users_login. The neat thing is that if the user and login names already match then there is an “Auto Fix” setting. And if you just don’t know what is mismatched there is a “Report” option too.
