Now I have a parquet table stored in ADLS gen2: adlss://mycontainer@mystorage.dfs.core.windows.net/folder1/table1.

This is a read-only table and I want to restrict my service principal to only have read access to this table only. So I use ACL to grant access in mycontainer:

  • --X for / and /folder1
  • R-X for /folder1/table1 and all the child items recursively.

My service principal already have a storage data delegator role so it can generate the user delegation key. Then to generate SAS token, according to this, the object id of my service principal should be added to signedUnauthorizedObjectId in SAS token.

Question: how to generate the SAS token with signedUnauthorizedObjectId, to let the ACL works in authorization process?

    Hi Shunlei Tang - Thanks for reaching out.

    When specifying the parameters for generating a UserDelegationSAS, you need to specify the OID of the specified used in the signedUnauthorizedObjectId field.

    Thereafter, you can use this field while creating StringToSign further.

    Below is a sample code to generate a user delegation SAS and then perform a directory level operation further using Python code.
