User Managed Identity Support for Auditing Azure SQL Database is in Public Preview Now
Introduction
Azure SQL Database is a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offering that provides a highly available, secure, and scalable cloud database solution. As part of its suite of security features, Azure SQL Database provides support for auditing to track user access and other activities within the database. To ensure that security and compliance requirements are met, customers need to ensure that their auditing is properly configured and monitored. To help with this, Azure SQL Database now supports the use of user managed identities (UMIs) for auditing.
What is User Managed Identity (UMI)?
A user managed identity (UMI) is a service offered by Azure Active Directory (AAD) that allows users to create and manage their own identities. These identities can then be used for a variety of purposes, including authentication and authorization for services such as Azure SQL Database. This allows users to control their own access to services and helps to ensure that only authorized users are able to access the services.
How Can User Managed Identity be Used for Auditing Azure SQL Database?
User managed identity support for auditing Azure SQL Database enables customers to use their own identities to configure and monitor their auditing settings. This allows customers to have more control over who is able to access and manage their auditing settings, and ensures that only authorized users are able to configure and monitor their auditing settings. This helps to ensure that customers are able to meet their security and compliance requirements.

Using user managed identities for auditing Azure SQL Database provides a number of benefits, including:
* Increased security – UMIs ensure that only authorized users are able to configure and monitor auditing settings.
* Improved compliance – UMIs enable customers to meet their security and compliance requirements.
* Ease of use – UMIs enable customers to easily and quickly configure and monitor their auditing settings.
