Test Cube, Test User, connect to it(Azure Analysis Service) in SSMS, right click the cube, browse, click on "Impersonate": enter image description here And you will see a series of prompts that are specific to a on-premise implementation of AD, so local users, local groups(In this case it's just my local system): enter image description here How do I select a user from MS Entra through these prompts? If that can't been done is there another easy UI driven way to impersonate a user? Did Microsoft just not extend support for this authentication type to SSMS(at least for Azure Analysis Services)?

How do I create user logins on my read replica database?

Is it possible to have different users accessing my read replica DB? Isn't this in fact a popular use case for a read replica? I want a certain limited set of credentials to have access to my primary read-write DB, and then I want a bunch of other folks to be able to have read-only access to the read replica for reporting, ad-hoc querying, etc. I don't necessarily want the two databases to have the exact same accessors. I created a Microsoft Entra login on the server which hosts my read replica, But here's what I get when I attempt to create the user for the database access. enter image description here Msg 3906, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Failed to update database "********" because the database is read-only. Well, of course the database is read-only, it's my read replica. But I'm not trying to write data into the database, merely set the meta-security details for who in my organization is allowed to access the read replica. This can't be done?
