Taiob Ali wants to use Entra for authentication:
During the livestream of my session at the POSETTE: An Event for Postgres 2026 conference, I received the following question on the hallway track via Discord:
I have one question : I added an Entra group as PostgreSQL Entra administrator, created/mapped the PostgreSQL role for that group, and granted permissions to that group. I am a member of the Entra group, but I still cannot log in with my own Entra user. Does Azure PostgreSQL allow group members to authenticate through the group role, or must each user also be individually created/mapped as a PostgreSQL role?
