I found this link very helpful:
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/documentation/articles/sql-database-manage-logins/

It details things like:
- Azure SQL Database subscriber account
- Using Azure Active Directory users to access the database
- Server-level principal accounts (unrestricted access)
- Adding users to the dbmanager database role

I used this and Stuart's answer to do the following:
On the master database (see link as to who has permissions on this):

CREATE LOGIN [MyAdmin] with password='ReallySecurePassword'

And then on the database in question:

CREATE USER [MyAdmin] FROM LOGIN [MyAdmin]
ALTER ROLE db_owner ADD MEMBER [MyAdmin]

You can also create users like this, according to the link:

CREATE USER [mike@contoso.com] FROM EXTERNAL PROVIDER;
