How to get the group name/ACLs from blobinventory report?

Question

Kumar, Arun 336

Hello,

I have created a blobinventory report as per ms documentation - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/blob-inventory-how-to?tabs=azure-portal. I am getting the CSV and transforming through a pyspark code. But the ACLs or AD groups are shown as a GUID like below -

user::rwx,group::r-x,group:<guid>:r-x,mask::r-x,other::---,default:user::rwx,default:group::r-x,default:other::---

How can i get the guid listed properly as a group name? I need to get dynamically using a pyspark code and not manually

Thanks,
Arun

To generate a GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) dynamically in Python using PySpark, you can use the uuid module. Here's an example code snippet:

import uuid

Generate a new GUID

group_name = str(uuid.uuid4())

Print the generated GUID

print(group_name)

This code will generate a new GUID and store it in the group_name variable. You can then use this generated GUID as a group name in your PySpark code.

The uuid.uuid4() function generates a random UUID version 4, which is a 128-bit value represented as a string in the format xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx, where x represents a hexadecimal digit.

You can incorporate this code snippet into your PySpark script to dynamically generate GUIDs as group names.
