*Principals* are entities that can request [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] resources. Like other components of the [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] authorization model, principals can be arranged in a hierarchy. The scope of influence of a principal depends on the scope of the definition of the principal: Windows, server, database; and whether the principal is indivisible or a collection. A Windows Login is an example of an indivisible principal, and a Windows Group is an example of a principal that is a collection. Every principal has a security identifier (SID). This topic applies to all version of SQL Server, but there are some restrictions on server-level principals in SQL Database or Azure Synapse Analytics.
