Overview

This Snap generates a SAS (Shared Access Signature) URI that enable you to access Azure Storage containers or blobs for a specified period. You can use this URI with other Snaps, such as File Writer or File Reader, to interact with the files in the Azure Storage container or blob. See Using SAS for more information on SAS. 

Depending upon the Snap's configuration, you can either access all blobs in a container, or a specific blob in a container. See Snap Settings for more information.

Snap Settings

LabelRequired. The name for the Snap. Modify this to be more specific, especially if there are more than one of the same Snap in the Pipeline.
Container

The name of the Azure Storage container that you want to access. Enter the name or select one suggested by the Snap. This property is required for Service SAS on container and Service SAS on blob.
Examples: testcontainer
Default value: N/A

Note

The container's name must always be in lowercase. See Referencing Containers and Blobs for more information.


Blob

The name of the Azure Storage blob that you want to access. Enter the name or select one suggested by the Snap. Blob name should be a relative path in the container.
Examples:

  • testblob
  • abc.csv
  • testblob/abc.csv

Default value: N/A

Note

Leave this property blank to access all the blobs in the specified container.


Protocol

The protocol over which Azure Storage permits access to the client using the SAS URI. Available options are:

  • https: For WASBS
  • http: For WASB

Default value: https

SAS Permissions

Select the file-access permissions that you want to assign to users of the SAS URI. See Specifying Permissions for more information.

Available options are:

  • READ: permission to read a blob
  • WRITE: permission to create or overwrite a blob
  • LIST: permission to list a directory
  • CREATE: permission to create a blob (cannot overwrite an existing blob)
  • DELETE: permission to delete a blob

Default value: READ, WRITE, LIST, DELETE

Expire in (hours)

Specifies the validity of the SAS URI in hours. Configure this property and the Expire in (minutes) property to specify the total duration of the URI's validity.
Example: 3
Minimum value: 0
Default value: 0

Expire in (minutes)Specifies the expire time in minutes. 
Example: 10
Minimum value: 0
Default value: 1

Understanding the SAS URI Validity

The validity of the SAS URI is determined by the values in the Expire in (hours) and Expire in (minutes) properties. For example, if the SAS Generator Snap is configured as shown below, the validity of the SAS URI generated by the Snap is 3 hours and 43 minutes.
