 In [!INCLUDE [sssql25-md](../../../includes/sssql25-md.md)] Cumulative Update (CU) 1, you can enable database creation and restoration directly within a contained availability group session, through the contained AG listener. This enhancement streamlines workflows for users assigned the appropriate roles, allowing seamless operations within contained AG environments.
 
 Only users with the **dbcreator** role can create databases in a contained AG session. Only users with the **db_owner** or **sysadmin** role can restore databases.
