    | CERTIFICATE | CONTRACT | DATABASE | ENDPOINT | FULLTEXT CATALOG
    | LOGIN | MESSAGE TYPE | OBJECT | REMOTE SERVICE BINDING | ROLE
    | ROUTE | SCHEMA | SERVER | SERVICE | SYMMETRIC KEY | TYPE 
    | USER | XML SCHEMA COLLECTION

Arguments

DEFAULT
When it is called with the DEFAULT option, the function will return a complete list of built in permissions.
NULL
Equivalent to DEFAULT.
empty_string
Equivalent to DEFAULT.
'<securable_class>'
When it is called with the name of one securable class, sys.fn_builtin_permissions returns all permissions that apply to the class. <securable_class> is a string literal that requires quotation marks. nvarchar(60)

Remarks

sys.fn_builtin_permissions is a table-valued function that emits a copy of the predefined permission hierarchy. This hierarchy includes covering permissions. The DEFAULT result set describes a directed, acyclic graph of the permissions hierarchy, of which the root is (class = SERVER, permission = CONTROL SERVER).

sys.fn_builtin_permissions does not accept correlated parameters.

sys.fn_builtin_permissions will return an empty set when it is called with a class name that is not valid.

Permissions

Requires membership in the public role.

Examples

A. Listing all built in permissions

SELECT * FROM sys.fn_builtin_permissions(DEFAULT)

B. Listing permissions that can be set on a symmetric key

SELECT * FROM sys.fn_builtin_permissions(N'SYMMETRIC KEY')

C. Listing classes on which there is a SELECT permission

SELECT * FROM sys.fn_builtin_permissions(DEFAULT) 
    WHERE permission_name = 'SELECT';
