Answer
A contained user is a user account that is created in the Azure SQL Database. This user account can then be mapped to Azure AD Identities.
To create contained users mapped to Azure AD identities, you must be logged in using an Azure AD account that is an administrator in the database in Azure SQL Database. In SQL Managed Instance, a SQL login with sysadmin permissions can also create an Azure AD login or user.
