+> This command requires that SQL access Azure AD (the "external provider") on behalf of the logged-in user. Sometimes, circumstances will arise that cause Azure AD to return an exception back to SQL. In these cases, the user will see SQL error 33134, which should contain the AAD-specific error message. Most of the time, the error will say that access is denied, or that the user must enroll in MFA to access the resource, or that access between first-party applications must be handled via preauthorization. In the first two cases, the issue is usually caused by Conditional Access policies that are set in the user's AAD tenant: they prevent the user from accessing the external provider. Updating the CA policies to allow access to the application '00000002-0000-0000-c000-000000000000' (the application ID of the AAD Graph API) should resolve the issue. In the case that the error says access between first-party applications must be handled via preauthorization, the issue is because the user is signed in as a service principal. The command should succeed if it is executed by a user instead.

-> You cannot directly create a user from an Azure Active Directory other than the Azure Active
-Directory that is associated with your Azure subscription. However, members of other Active Directories that are imported users in the associated Active Directory (known as external users) can be added to an Active Directory group in the tenant Active Directory. By creating a contained database user for that AD group, the users from the external Active Directory can gain access to SQL Database.
