SQL Server Authentication and Authorization In-Depth

Authentication and authorization – better known as logins, users, roles, and permissions – are foundational concepts in SQL Server security. While simple in nature, their flexibility can make them complex to implement, leading many DBAs and developers to take shortcuts that compromise their databases’ security. We’ll dive deep into this topic in this session so you can get to know these basic building blocks better and learn how to avoid some common mistakes. We’ll also take a look at the latest innovations in SQL 2022 that finally close some long-time gaps in the security model.
