We are implementing row level security in Azure Synapse Analytics and we want to check if user is member of specific Azure AAD group, user can access data. As per [documentation][1]
[1]: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/functions/is-member-transact-sql?view=sql-server-ver15 it says this function only check windows group. Is there any work around or ETA when this features will be available?
We tried using below query but it always returns NULL
SELECT IS_MEMBER('AAD_Group_Name')
The document you have shared clearly mentioned that IS_MEMBER function is not supported for Azure Active Directory Groups.
You can raise the feature request here.
Alternatively, you can check this official document about How to set up access control for your Azure Synapse workspace. This will help you to understand and implement control access to a Microsoft Azure Synapse workspace using Azure roles, Azure Synapse roles, SQL permissions, and Git permissions.

Trying to create a Metastore for manage identity incorporating in Azure Databricks but the data tab only shows create table.
Per the documentation, it should be there. Also, I have created the databricks service and have azure contributor role.
I am an admin to the Databricks workspace. Is it unavailable on Azure?
Well, you don't give details about your environment, so I just can give some ideas about what is missing.
First, change the environment to "SQL" (click on "Data Science & Engineering" menu at the top left)
Second, do you have all the requirements? The requirements are here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/databricks/data-governance/unity-catalog/get-started#requirements
I think do you missing this permission here:
*You must be an Azure Databricks account admin.
The first Azure Databricks account admin must be an Azure Active Directory Global Administrator at the time that they first log in to the Azure Databricks account console. Upon first login, that user becomes an Azure Databricks account admin and no longer needs the Azure Active Directory Global Administrator role to access the Azure Databricks account. The first account admin can assign users in the Azure Active Directory tenant as additional account admins (who can themselves assign more account admins). Additional account admins do not require specific roles in Azure Active Directory.*
To check if you are an Azure Databricks account admin you can access:
https://accounts.azuredatabricks.net/login?next_url=%2Flogin%2F
and verify if you have the access to the Databricks administration screen
Our organization having an Azure Synapse Dedicated Pool instance. I am trying to register the Azure Synapse Dedicated Pool with Azure Purview and want to scan the Synapse DB. However, I am getting the following Error every time:
“Failed to access the Azure Dedicated SQL pool with the given credentials”
Following are the process I followed to Register the Data Source:
I opened “Purview Studio”
There I have created a “Collection”
Then I go to “Register Sources”
Then I search for “Azure Synapse Dedicated Pool”
Then I select the subscription where my Azure Synapse Dedicated Pool is present
Then I Registered my Data Source
Now I am trying to create a New Scan for my Synapse Dedicated Pool
The problem starts from here, First of all I selected the subscription, then I selected the resource group and then I selected the Synapse DB name. I tried two authentication methods to authenticate my Synapse Instance. First one is Purview MSI account and second one is SQL Authentication. I have added my Purview MSI account as a user in Synapse Dedicated pool using following command.
CREATE USER [PurviewAccountName] FROM EXTERNAL PROVIDER
GO
EXEC sp_addrolemember 'db_datareader', [PurviewAccountName]
GO
Now I tried to test the connection but it is not working and giving me following Error:
“Failed to access the Azure Dedicated SQL pool with Purview MSI account”
My Azure Synapse Dedicated Pool instance in not publically accessible, we have put it behind the private link. I can connect my Azure Synapse Instance using VPN connectivity on my machine and login through SSMS and Azure Data Studio.
I also tried with SQL authentication by using SQL username and Password which is kept under the keyvault. I have checked it multiple times and I am confident I have configured it correctly. But still when I try to test the connection. It is showing following error:
“Failed to access the Azure Dedicated SQL pool with the given credentials”
Some where I have read I need self-hosted-integration runtime if the Azure Synapse instance is behind private link.
So I installed integration runtime on my machine, configure it and tested for the Synapse connection with SQL Authentication by connecting to VPN. Self-Hosted IR configured successfully. I tested with both the IR. Azure IR and Self-hosted-IR. But no luck, I am getting the same error.
I have also added Purview MSI account to Access Policy in keyVault and provided GET, List permission on keys and Secrets.
However, I am not getting what I am missing here and why it is giving me the same error.
Any help on this is really means a lot me..
CREATE USER [PurviewAccountName] FROM EXTERNAL PROVIDER
GO
EXEC sp_addrolemember 'db_datareader', [PurviewAccountName]

According to Microsoft official documentation, to execute the above command one must be Azure Synapse Administrator in the workspace. It is alsi required that your purview account name must have reader role set which can be done from Access Control (IAM) under the Azure Synapse Workspace resource.
To create SQL Pools, Apache Spark Pools and Integration Runtimes, users must have at least Azure Contributor role in the workspace. The contributor role also allows these users to manage the resources, including pausing and scaling. If you're- using Azure Portal or Synapse Studio to create SQL Pools, Apache Spark Pools and INtegration Runtimes, then you need Azure Contributor role at the resource group level.
To GRANT access to a Dedicated SQL Pool database, the scripts can be run by the workspace creator or any member of the workspace1_SynapseAdministrators group.
Follow the below steps in the Azure Synapse SQL script editor:
Create the USER in the database by running the following command on the target database, selected using the Connect to dropdown:
CREATE USER [<alias#domain.com>] FROM EXTERNAL PROVIDER;
Grant a user a role to access the database
EXEC sp_addrolemember 'db_owner', '<alias#domain.com>'
I have connected my azure account in Data Studio and I am using Azure SQL migration extension (v0.1.12) to migrate on-prem SQL to Azure Managed Instance.
However my subscription details are not getting fetched.

The issue seems to be more of access level issues.
Below are the type of access levels that you need to have for creating Azure Migrate Appliance project
Contributor or Owner permissions in the Azure subscription.
Permissions to register Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) apps.
Owner or Contributor and User Access Administrator permissions in the Azure subscription to create an instance of Azure Key Vault, which is used during agentless server migration.
Below are the steps to set contributor or Owner permissions
From Azure Subscriptions panel select the subscription
Move to Access Control IAM and select Add role Assignment
Assign the following roles.
For complete information check the Microsoft Document on providing access.
We're using Azure AD Connect to sync our on-premises Active Directory to Azure AD. We have the free version that comes with the Office 365 business plans.
Azure AD Connect shows the Description field as being synchronized to Azure AD, yet, the field does not appear anywhere.
We're using a third-party service to read data from our user profiles to generate email signatures, but the service cannot read the data as it doesn't "exist" in Azure.
I even tried going into our Azure AD Connect configuration, enabled Directory extension attribute sync and added the Description field for user accounts...but it created a new "description" field with a weird name instead.
Is there something I'm missing ? Do we perhaps need to have Azure AD Premium ?
Thanks for your help people!
Based on the official documentation, the attribute for Description has been synced to Azure AD. You can verify it by open Synchronization Service Manager, and check the properties for the specific user by Metaverse Search.
However, if you need to retrieve the attribute values for specific user, you must use Azure AD Graph API. For your scenario, the third-party service may leverage Azure AD Graph API for retrieving user properties.
Then, if you check the Graph API reference, you can find that Description is not included in the list, which means you can't retrieve the Description attribute from Azure AD.
As a workaround, you can use Directory extension, but the attributes are prefixed with extension_{AppClientId}_. The AppClientId has the same value for all attributes in your Azure AD tenant.
Also, you can submit your requirements to the following website, which collects feedbacks for Azure AD from users.

I have an VM running in Azure which I would like the client to be able to turn on/off easily. I tought this would be simple; just a PS-script that performs an startup/shutdown/dealloc. But it seems I can't generate a "Azure Publish Settings"-file that only gives access to that VM? At the moment it seems I can only control this at the subscription level?
The Azure Publish Settings file basically contains the access information for an entire Azure subscription. It does not specify access to a specific resource (e.g. VM) but to all resources inside of a subscription.
To limit access to a subset of resources in Azure, you should be looking at the new role-based access (RBAC) functionality, which is available in the Azure preview portal and the latest Azure PowerShell cmdlets.
How it works is that you create an Azure resource group, to which you can assign roles with specific rights, and to this role you can then assign individual users.
Check the following Azure documentation link for details on how to do this.
