If you want to find out the permissions of the Current Connected Principal User on the database, then here's how to do so:
SELECT permission_name as Allowed
FROM fn_my_permissions('NORTHWIND', 'DATABASE')
The
fn_my_permissions system function returns a list of the permissions effectively granted to the principal on a securable, in our case, the database Northwind. So running the query shown above, will display the permission of the current connected principal
Similarly to view permissions of the principal on a specific table, use this query
SELECT permission_name as Allowed
FROM fn_my_permissions('dbo.Employees', 'object')
If you want to view the permissions of a different principal user, use
EXECUTE AS LOGIN = 'USERNAME'
GO
and then execute the query.
