Create an new administrator level login in Azure SQL?

Question

I need to replace my old admin login/user with a new one. I tried the following:

CREATE LOGIN newDbAdmin WITH password=\'123isTheBestPasswordEver\'
CREATE USER n         


        

Answer 1

You can use Azure AD to manage the server. Create a DBA group - assign all DBAs to that group. Then assign the group as the AD Manager for the server - that allows you to have multiple DBAs

Anyone in that group will have full DBA permission over the server.

Ideally, I think they expect you to use DB level contained users granted by a DBA. For us, we needed multiple admins as we have a lot of databases.
