Often when you restore a backup from SQL server you run into funky problems with users. Suppose you have login cfusion
and you restore a database from another server that also had user called cfusion
you can't properly use this login, and you might get the error:
Error 15023: User or role 'cfusion' already exists in the current database.
To fix this I ran:
EXEC sp_change_users_login 'Auto_Fix', 'cfusion', NULL, 'password'
And it worked like a charm.
