• Select the authorization type you want while setting up the account. Available options are:

  • Access Key: An Access Key is a credential used to authenticate and authorize access to cloud services and resources. Access keys can also authenticate access to storage services such as blobs, queues, tables, and files.

  • SAS URI: A SAS (Shared Access Signature) URI is a secure way to provide limited access to resources in Azure Storage without exposing the storage account keys. A SAS URI contains a token that grants specific permissions to a resource for a defined period of time. This mechanism is useful for scenarios where you need to share access to storage resources with clients or applications without sharing the storage account key.

  • Managed identity: Managed identities can be used to authenticate and access a wide range of Azure services, such as Azure Key Vault, Azure SQL Database, Azure Storage, and more. This integration ensures that the applications can securely access resources without requiring explicit credentials.

Managed identity

Default Value: System assigned managed identity
Example: User assigned managed identity

Appears when you select Managed identity for Auth type.

Choose the identity you want to use for authentication. The available options are:

• System assigned managed identity: Created and managed by Azure for an Azure resource, such as a virtual machine or a web app. The lifecycle of this identity is tied to the Azure resource, meaning it is automatically deleted when the resource is deleted.
