Restore a database backup on another server without sysadmin account
I need to restore my own database backup on another server.
On both servers I have the same user account name with limited privileges (eg WebUser).
On the target server I can't use a sysadmin account, so how can I restore my backup and give access to limited user account WebUser?
Of course I can't use SQL Server Management Studio but only code in my app.
I've tried with an account with this server role
[serveradmin]
[diskadmin]
[dbcreator]
I can restore the backup but can't access it nor give permissions on the database.

Ask your DBA to do the restore. There might be valid reason why the permissions are not given to you.

Use any login with [securityadmin] server role on target to create your user [WebUser] on restored db and assign [db_datareader] role on same.
