Today, our customer got the following error message: Answer: Msg 15151, Level 16, State 1, Line 2 - Cannot drop the login 'xzy', because it does not exist or you do not have permission.
We got a special situation with this account because checking the details we saw it was the admin user of Azure SQL Server used at the moment of its creation.
Following the public information placed here: Authorize server and database access using logins and user accounts - Azure SQL Database & SQL Manag... there is not possible to change the admin user only reset the password once has been created.
Additionally, we shared with our customer how to obtain the database roles:
SELECT DP1.name AS DatabaseRoleName,
isnull (DP2.name, 'No members') AS DatabaseUserName
FROM sys.database_role_members AS DRM
RIGHT OUTER JOIN sys.database_principals AS DP1
ON DRM.role_principal_id = DP1.principal_id
LEFT OUTER JOIN sys.database_principals AS DP2
ON DRM.member_principal_id = DP2.principal_id
WHERE DP1.type = 'R'
ORDER BY DP1.name;
SELECT roles.principal_id AS RolePrincipalID
, roles.name AS RolePrincipalName
, database_role_members.member_principal_id AS MemberPrincipalID
, members.name AS MemberPrincipalName
FROM sys.database_role_members AS database_role_members
JOIN sys.database_principals AS roles
ON database_role_members.role_principal_id = roles.principal_id
JOIN sys.database_principals AS members
ON database_role_members.member_principal_id = members.principal_id;
