Azure Synapse Analytics devs need to be assigned a role within Synapse Studio in order to access the GUI. The Azure CLI provides one way of doing this, which can be done by any Owner or Contributor of the Azure Synapse Analytics resource. By @edfreeman_ endjin.com/blog/2020/10/how-…

Woohooo! It's been a long time coming. Anyone who resorted to the gut-wrenching hack I described here (endjin.com/blog/2020/04/powe…) to achieve this, promptly wipe that from your mind and do as @SQLAllFather says.
