 - Changing permissions on specific Microsoft Entra login object isn't supported:
   - `GRANT <PERMISSION> ON LOGIN :: <Microsoft Entra account> TO <Any other login> `
 - When you alter permissions for a Microsoft Entra login, by default the changes only take effect the next time the login connects to the Azure SQL Database. Any existing open connections with the login aren't affected. To force permissions changes to take immediate effect, you can manually clear the authentication and TokenAndPermUserStore, as described earlier in [disable or enable a login using ALTER LOGIN](#disable-or-enable-a-login-using-alter-login). This behavior also applies when making server role membership changes with [ALTER SERVER ROLE](/sql/t-sql/statements/alter-server-role-transact-sql).

 - An error might occur if you're trying to create a login or user from a service principal with a nonunique display name. For more information about mitigating this error, see [Microsoft Entra logins and users with nonunique display names](authentication-microsoft-entra-create-users-with-nonunique-names.md).
 - In Azure SQL Database and Azure Synapse Analytics, database users created using Microsoft Entra logins can experience delays when being granted roles and permissions. As this feature is still in public preview, the following commands should be used to address these issues.
