Azure SQL TempDB Temporary Table owner

Question

In Azure SQL I can query what temp tables currently exist by using the query -

select * from tempdb.sys.tables;

However, I am not able to find who created these. Surely there must be a simple way to find out who created these temp tables! There are links which suggest things, but all of that works on SQL Server, not Azure SQL.

Permissions

Any user can create temporary objects in tempdb. Users can access only their own objects, unless they receive additional permissions. It's possible to revoke the connect permission to tempdb to prevent a user from using tempdb. We don't recommend it because some routine operations require the use of tempdb.

The tempdb system database is a global resource that's available to all users connected to the instance of SQL Server or connected to Azure SQL Database.

By default, server admin, database owner or a user with required permission can access the tables of tempdb.
