Managing security access for folder in blob storage in ADLS Gen-2

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to give access control based on the folder inside the container on the Azure Data Lake Storage Gen 2 .

I've tried by doing it Azure key vault but it protects the whole container .I want only to protect the folders inside a container.

Can someone please help me out on this one by giving a quick walkthrough on it?

To give access control based on the folder inside the container in Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2, you can use Access Control Lists (ACLs). ACLs allow you to apply a "finer grain" level of access to directories and files. Each ACL entry associates a security principal with an access level.

You can manage ACLs using the Azure Storage Explorer. To add a new user or group to the access control list, you can right-click the container, a directory, or a file, and then click Manage Access^.

You can find more details regarding ACLs here- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/data-lake-storage-access-control#what-is-the-best-way-to-apply-acls

Hope this helps. Please do let me know if you require any further assistance and I will be glad to assist further. Thank you!
