Once connected, open a New Query window and run the following command on the Master database to create the user on the server in the Master database:
CREATE LOGIN '<Username>' WITH password='<strong-password>';
Now open again a New Query window, and select the database where you want to provision permissions to the just created user. Make sure to match the Username from the command above.
