Finding User Roles in Azure SQL Database:

1. Sign in to Azure Portal: Go to the Azure portal and sign in with your Azure account.
2. Navigate to Azure SQL Database: In the Azure portal, navigate to the Azure SQL Database instance for which you want to view user roles.
3. View Server-Level Roles: Under the "Settings" section of your SQL Database instance, select "Roles" to view the server-level roles. Here, you can see the built-in server-level roles like sysadmin, db_owner, db_securityadmin, etc.
4. View Database-Level Roles: Navigate to the specific database within your SQL Database instance. Under the "Settings" section of the database, select "Roles" to view the database-level roles like db_datareader, db_datawriter, db_owner, etc.
5. View Users and Their Roles: Within the roles section, you can see the list of users and their associated roles. This will include both server-level and database-level roles.

Creating a Group and Adding Members to the Group:

1. Navigate to Azure Active Directory: In the Azure portal, navigate to "Azure Active Directory" from the left-hand menu.
2. Create a Group: Under "Manage," select "Groups" and then click on "+ New group" to create a new group. Provide a name and description for the group, and specify the group's membership type (e.g., security group or Microsoft 365 group).
3. Add Members to the Group: After creating the group, navigate to the group's page and select "Members" from the left-hand menu. Click on "+ Add members" to add users or other groups to the group. You can search for users or groups by name and add them to the group.
4. Assign Group to Roles: Once the group is created and members are added, you can assign the group to roles within Azure SQL Database. Navigate back to your SQL Database instance, and within the "Settings" section, select "Active Directory admin." Here, you can assign the group as the Azure AD admin for the SQL Database instance or specific databases. This will allow members of the group to access the databases with the permissions associated with their Azure AD roles. Finding User Roles in Azure SQL Database:
