sys.database_permissions (Transact-SQL)
Returns a row for every permission or column-exception permission in the database. For columns, there is a row for every permission that is different from the corresponding object-level permission. If the column permission is the same as the corresponding object permission, there will be no row for it and the actual permission used will be that of the object.
Important
Column-level permissions override object-level permissions on the same entity.

Permissions
In SQL Server 2005 and later versions, the visibility of the metadata in catalog views is limited to securables that a user either owns or on which the user has been granted some permission. For more information, see Metadata Visibility Configuration.
