Hi @Karan Sharma,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your questions here.

Your question is to know how you can connect a new Azure user to Azure VM from a MAC system.

Meanwhile, you forgot to let us know how you're trying to connect.

There are three popular medium to connect to Azure VM from Mac OS or any other operating systems.

1. SSH
2. RDP
3. Bastion (via web browser)

If you're using SSH, the username should have this format:

SQLAI ConvertCopy

ssh username@vm_ip_address

Others, you have to query the VM by it's IP Address and provide the credentials.

NOTE: You must have configured your Azure VM to be accessible through any of the three above.

I hope this is helpful! Do not hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions.
