Hello
I have an sql server and a `Sql.Database` on that server. I need a user/login in addition to the admin user/login, without admin permissions, for use on the database.
How should I do this?

I think you can use the Pulumi mssql provider for that.
<https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/mssql/>

Just be aware that the underlying terraform provider  which `pulumi-mssql` is based on hasn't been updated since Feb 2023.
<https://github.com/PGSSoft/terraform-provider-mssql/issues/140>

<@UKHFQ233Q> Oh I see that you are the creator of `pulumi-mssql` and also author of the issue

<@U03TDBDDBCH> because my issue collected 14 thumbs up and I need some updates on this provider for a customer project anyway I think I'll fork the repository into a new version and base the Pulumi provider on it. But it really depends on the decision of my customer. No spare time to work on such a provider right now.

<@U03TDBDDBCH> there is a promising PR <https://github.com/betr-io/terraform-provider-mssql/pull/93> in the mssql Provider of betr-io which seems to be still monitored by the owner and thus can be considered active. Perhaps I can base the Pulumi mssql provider on this Terraform provider. I've to check though if it's possible to create aliases for the old resources or configure the mapping in a way that it does not create a bunch of breaking changes.
