This feature is currently supported on SQL Server on Windows. No other workloads are supported. > > If you're using a non-administrator (domain) account to install SQL Server, ensure the account has the required security privilege assigned. If the domain account doesn't have the required security privilege (`SeSecurityPrivilege`), and the privilege can't be set at the domain level, you can grant the privilege to the account by using the Security privilege users field of Active Directory connections. For more information, see [Create an Active Directory connection](../create-active-directory-connections.md#create-an-active-directory-connection). >[!IMPORTANT] >Change notifications aren't supported with Continuously Available shares in Azure NetApp Files.
