I think what you need to use is IDENTITY at the database level for the column you want to be in sequence and auto generated.

I already have the id field which is Role_ID field. I just want permission field to be auto generated incrementally

As mentioned in comments, add a field to your table and make it an identity field. That will allow SQL to auto increment the value.

If you want permission field to be auto generated and incremented then make it an identity field.
