[Azure Active Directory](../../active-directory/fundamentals/active-directory-whatis.md) authentication is a mechanism of connecting to SQL pool by using identities in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). With Azure Active Directory authentication, you can centrally manage the identities of database users and other Microsoft services in one central location. Central ID management provides a single place to manage Azure Synapse users and simplifies permission management.
