.DESCRIPTION
    The `SqlEndpointPermission` DSC resource is used to give connect
    permission to an endpoint for a user (login).
 
    ## Requirements
 
    * Target machine must be running Windows Server 2012 or later.
    * Target machine must be running SQL Server Database Engine 2012 or later.
 
    ## Known issues
 
    All issues are not listed here, see [here for all open issues](https://github.com/dsccommunity/SqlServerDsc/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+in%3Atitle+SqlEndpointPermission).
 
.PARAMETER InstanceName
    Key - String
    The name of the SQL Server instance to be configured.
 
.PARAMETER Principal
    Key - String
    The login to which permission will be set.
 
.PARAMETER Name
    Required - String
    The name of the endpoint.
 
.PARAMETER ServerName
    Write - String
    The host name of the SQL Server to be configured. Default value is $env:COMPUTERNAME.
 
.PARAMETER Ensure
    Write - String
    Allowed values: Present, Absent
    If the permission should be present or absent. Default value is 'Present'.
 
.PARAMETER Permission
    Write - String
    Allowed values: CONNECT
    The permission to set for the login. Valid value for permission is only 'CONNECT'.
 
.EXAMPLE 1
 
This example will add connect permission to the credentials provided in
$SqlServiceCredential to the endpoint named 'DefaultMirrorEndpoint'.
 
Configuration Example
{
    param
    (
        [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
        [System.Management.Automation.PSCredential]
        $SqlAdministratorCredential,
 
        [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
        [System.Management.Automation.PSCredential]
        $SqlServiceCredential
    )
 
    Import-DscResource -ModuleName 'SqlServerDsc'
 
    node localhost
    {
        SqlEndpointPermission 'SQLConfigureEndpointPermission'
        {
            Ensure = 'Present'
            ServerName = 'SQLTEST'
            InstanceName = 'DSCINSTANCE'
            Name = 'DefaultMirrorEndpoint'
            Principal = $SqlServiceCredential.UserName
            Permission = 'CONNECT'
 
            PsDscRunAsCredential = $SqlAdministratorCredential
        }
    }
}
 
.EXAMPLE 2
 
This example will add connect permission to the credentials provided in
$SqlServiceCredential to the endpoint named 'DefaultMirrorEndpoint'.
 
Configuration Example
{
    param
    (
        [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
        [System.Management.Automation.PSCredential]
        $SqlAdministratorCredential,
 
        [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
        [System.Management.Automation.PSCredential]
        $SqlServiceCredential
    )
 
    Import-DscResource -ModuleName 'SqlServerDsc'

            Principal = $SqlServiceCredential.UserName
            Permission = 'CONNECT'
 
            PsDscRunAsCredential = $SqlAdministratorCredential
        }
    }
}
 
.EXAMPLE 3
 
This example will add connect permission to both an Always On primary
replica and an Always On secondary replica, and where each replica has
a different SQL service account.

.EXAMPLE 4
 
This example will remove connect permission to both an Always On primary replica and an
Always On secondary replica, and where each replica has a different SQL service account.
