Google Cloud SQL Server Migration Skips User Logins
If you migrate a SQL Server database to Google Cloud SQL using their Database Migration Service, your data goes over—but user logins don’t. That’s on purpose, says Google: DMS deliberately doesn’t copy server logins for security and compliance reasons. If you want your applications to connect, you’ll have to migrate those logins manually with standard SQL Server tools.
- DMS transfers database schemas and data, not server logins
- Google says skipping logins is a security measure
- Automated login migration could violate compliance policies
- Manual migration is required for user logins
