'sysadmin' is one of the fixed server roles. As stated in SQL Server 2005 Books Online, each member of a fixed server role can add other logins to that same role.
The following query returns the list of available fixed server rolesEXEC sp_helpsrvrole;
Members belonging to the sysadmin server role have the permissions to perform any activity in the server.
In order to find out if the logged in user is a sysadmin:SELECT IS_SRVROLEMEMBER( 'sysadmin', '
' );
Returns 1 if user is a sysadmin, 0 if user is not.
In order to find out the permissions associated with the sysadmin fixed server role:
EXEC sp_srvrolepermission 'sysadmin';

Administrators Group is Sysadmin... but member of Administrator group still returns 0 for this query.
Is there any other way to find if user\Group is having sysadmin permission or not ?
