Answer 1

Hi @Ashok Arumugam,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your questions here.

Yes, integrating Azure Active Directory (AAD) with Azure Cosmos DB using the MongoDB API is possible. Here are the steps you’ll need to follow:

• Set up an Azure AD application and service principal. This will be used for authentication.
• Configure your Cosmos DB account: Enable the RBAC capability by adding the EnableMongoRoleBasedAccessControl capability to your database account.
• Assign roles to users: Use the Azure CLI, Azure PowerShell, or Azure Resource Manager (ARM) to manage users and roles within your database.
