## Azure Active Directory integration

SQL Managed Instance supports traditional SQL Server database engine logins and logins integrated with Azure AD. Azure AD server principals (logins) (**public preview**) are an Azure cloud version of on-premises database logins that you are using in your on-premises environment. Azure AD server principals (logins) enable you to specify users and groups from your Azure AD tenant as true instance-scoped principals, capable of performing any instance-level operation, including cross-database queries within the same managed instance.

A new syntax is introduced to create Azure AD server principals (logins), **FROM EXTERNAL PROVIDER**. For more information on the syntax, see [CREATE LOGIN](/sql/t-sql/statements/create-login-transact-sql?view=azuresqldb-mi-current&preserve-view=true), and review the [Provision an Azure Active Directory administrator for SQL Managed Instance](../database/authentication-aad-configure.md#provision-azure-ad-admin-sql-managed-instance) article.
