Hello Gaurav Singh

Yes, you can set disk access for a snapshot using PowerShell. Here are the steps:

1. Grant access to the disk: $sas = Grant-AzDiskAccess -ResourceGroupName $rg -DiskName $diskName -DurationInSecond $sasExpiryDuration -Access Read
2. Create a snapshot of the disk: $snapshot = New-AzSnapshot -SourceUri $sas.AccessSAS -SnapshotName $snapshotName -ResourceGroupName $rg
3. Revoke access to the disk: Revoke-AzDiskAccess -ResourceGroupName $rg -DiskName $diskName
