Export-DbaUser
Exports users creation and its permissions to a T-SQL file or host. Export includes user, create and add to role(s), database level permissions, object level permissions.
You can choose destination version
When you run this command without specifying the -DestinationVersion parameter the script will be generated, by default, relying on current database compatibility level.
However, you can use this parameter to specify the destination version. Lets say you want to script a user from SQL Server 2014 and run the generated script on SQL Server 2008 version, you should use -DestinationVersion SQLServer2008/2008R2.
This way, any specific T-SQL code that only works on SQL 2012 will be scripted in a way that SQL Server 2008 can run without error.
