You must consider the following factors for Azure SQL Database authentication:

  • Create a dedicated Azure AD group as the Azure SQL Server administrator instead of creating an individual user administrator.
  • You can configure either an Azure AD group or a user as an Azure SQL Server admin.
  • bcp.exe can't connect to an Azure SQL database using Azure Active Directory authentication...
