Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate AZ-104 Practice Question
You need to grant a partner organization temporary access to specific files in your Azure Storage account, limited to a particular time window, and avoid sharing your storage account keys. What is the BEST way to achieve this?
Generate a Shared Access Signature token for the required files and provide it to the partner.
Provide the storage account access keys to the partner to access the files.
Configure network access rules to allow the partner's IP addresses to access the storage account.
Create a new Azure AD user account for the partner and assign permissions to the files.
Generating a Shared Access Signature (SAS) token is the best approach. A SAS token allows you to grant limited access to objects in your storage account without exposing your storage account keys. You can specify permissions, the resources to be accessed, and the time window during which the token is valid. This provides secure, temporary access tailored to your requirements.
Providing the storage account access keys would give the partner full access to all resources in the storage account, which poses a significant security risk. Creating a new Azure AD user account and assigning permissions may not be practical for external partners and does not provide a time-limited access window. Configuring network access rules controls which IP addresses can access the storage account but does not grant access to specific files or limit access to a specific time frame.
