I have a user that needs to create a temporary Azure SQL database for the duration of a project.
What licenses do I need?
What resources need to be created?
What permissions need to be assigned?
I can't find any help on this.

What licenses do I need?
A "normal" one, means you have to create a Azure SQL Database, as any other one.
What resources need to be created?
See answer before.
What permissions need to be assigned?
Depends on what the user should be able to do in the database.
Hi David Bessell •,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.
As I understand, you want to create Azure SQL Database temporarily.
You can create Azure SQL Database if you have Azure Subscription via Azure Portal/Powershell/CLI as illustrated here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/single-database-create-quickstart?view=azuresql&tabs=azure-portal
You can perform cleaning up of the resource if you don't need it.
Let us know if you have a different ask.
Thanks
