function Export-DbaUser {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Exports users creation and its permissions to a T-SQL file or host.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
        Exports users creation and its permissions to a T-SQL file or host. Export includes user, create and add to role(s), database level permissions, object level permissions.
 
    .PARAMETER SqlInstance
        The target SQL Server instance or instances. SQL Server 2000 and above supported.
 
    .PARAMETER SqlCredential
        Allows you to login to servers using alternative credentials
 
        $scred = Get-Credential, then pass $scred object to the -SqlCredential parameter
 
        Windows Authentication will be used if SqlCredential is not specified
 
    .PARAMETER Database
        The database(s) to process - this list is auto-populated from the server. If unspecified, all databases will be processed.
 
    .PARAMETER ExcludeDatabase
        The database(s) to exclude - this list is auto-populated from the server
 
    .PARAMETER User
        Export only the specified database user(s). If not specified will export all users from the database(s)
 
    .PARAMETER DestinationVersion
        To say to which version the script should be generated. If not specified will use database compatibility level
 
    .PARAMETER Path
        Specifies the full path of a file to write the script to.
 
    .PARAMETER NoClobber
        Do not overwrite file
 
    .PARAMETER Append
        Append to file
 
    .PARAMETER WhatIf
        Shows what would happen if the command were to run. No actions are actually performed.
 
    .PARAMETER Confirm
        Prompts you for confirmation before executing any changing operations within the command.
 
    .PARAMETER EnableException
        By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
        This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.
        Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.
 
    .PARAMETER ScriptingOptionsObject
        A Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.ScriptingOptions object with the options that you want to use to generate the t-sql script.
        You can use the NEw-DbaScriptingOption to generate it.
 
    .PARAMETER ExcludeGoBatchSeparator
        If specified, will NOT script the 'GO' batch separator.

    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> Export-DbaUser -SqlInstance sql2005 -Path C:\temp\sql2005-users.sql
 
        Exports SQL for the users in server "sql2005" and writes them to the file "C:\temp\sql2005-users.sql"
 
    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> Export-DbaUser -SqlInstance sqlserver2014a $scred -Path C:\temp\users.sql -Append
 
        Authenticates to sqlserver2014a using SQL Authentication. Exports all users to C:\temp\users.sql, and appends to the file if it exists. If not, the file will be created.
 
    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> Export-DbaUser -SqlInstance sqlserver2014a -User User1, User2 -Path C:\temp\users.sql
 
        Exports ONLY users User1 and User2 from sqlserver2014a to the file C:\temp\users.sql
 
    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> Export-DbaUser -SqlInstance sqlserver2008 -User User1 -Path C:\temp\users.sql -DestinationVersion SQLServer2016
 
        Exports user User1 from sqlserver2008 to the file C:\temp\users.sql with syntax to run on SQL Server 2016
 
    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> Export-DbaUser -SqlInstance sqlserver2008 -Database db1,db2 -Path C:\temp\users.sql
 
        Exports ONLY users from db1 and db2 database on sqlserver2008 server, to the C:\temp\users.sql file.
 
    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> $options = New-DbaScriptingOption
        PS C:\> $options.ScriptDrops = $false
        PS C:\> $options.WithDependencies = $true
        PS C:\> Export-DbaUser -SqlInstance sqlserver2008 -Database db1,db2 -Path C:\temp\users.sql -ScriptingOptionsObject $options
 
        Exports ONLY users from db1 and db2 database on sqlserver2008 server, to the C:\temp\users.sql file.
        It will not script drops but will script dependencies.
 
    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> Export-DbaUser -SqlInstance sqlserver2008 -Database db1,db2 -Path C:\temp\users.sql -ExcludeGoBatchSeparator
 
        Exports ONLY users from db1 and db2 database on sqlserver2008 server, to the C:\temp\users.sql file without the 'GO' batch separator.
