How do I create a new user in a SQL Azure database?

Question

I am trying to use the following template:

-- =================================================
-- Create User as DBO template for SQL Azure Database
-- ====         


        

Answer 1

1 Create login while connecting to the master db (in your databaseclient open a connection to the master db)

CREATE LOGIN 'testUserLogin' WITH password='1231!#ASDF!a';

2 Create a user while connecting to your db (in your db client open a connection to your database)

CREATE USER testUserLoginFROM LOGIN testUserLogin; Please, note, user name is the same as login. It did not work for me when I had a different username and login.

3 Add required permissions

EXEC sp_addrolemember db_datawriter, 'testUser'; You may want to add 'db_datareader' as well.

I was inspired by @nthpixel answer, but it did not work for my db client DBeaver. It did not allow me to run USE [master] and use [my-db] statements.

How to test your user?

Run the query bellow in the master database connection.

SELECT A.name as userName, B.name as login, B.Type_desc, default_database_name, B.*
FROM sys.sysusers A
    FULL OUTER JOIN sys.sql_logins B
       ON A.sid = B.sid
WHERE islogin = 1 and A.sid is not null
