services / Azure / Azure SQL Sync Group

An Azure SQL Data Sync group defines a hub-and-member data replication topology that synchronizes table data between a hub database and one or more member databases. It is a control-plane configuration object on a production database.

Sync groups govern the flow of operational data between databases; misconfiguration can redirect, overwrite, or disrupt replication of a single organizational function's data.

Deleting a sync group tears down the replication relationship, destroying the sync configuration and disrupting ongoing data synchronization between the hub and member databases.

This privilege may grant access to sensitive data from a single organizational function, or allow interruption of a service supporting a single organizational function.
