+    .PARAMETER ExcludeDatabaseMapping
+        Skips copying database-level permissions and role memberships, syncing only server-level roles and securables.
+        Use this when you want to sync server permissions (sysadmin membership, server securables, etc.) without iterating through all databases, which significantly improves performance on instances with many databases.

         Renames the destination sa account to match the source sa account name if they differ.
         Use this during migrations when your organization has renamed the sa account for security purposes and you need consistent naming across instances.
