Hello,
Imaging the following scenario.
I have an azure storage account, a client would like to get data from that storage account. They would like to use azure data factory to do that.
My initial thought was they would create an managed ID in their tenant, they would give me the id details and I could then grant that account the correct read permissions on the storage account. However further reading has said this isn't possible.
What would be the best approach to accomplish the above

Hey, in order to use managed identity authentication both the components needs to be in the same tenant. For accessing blob storage from adf present in diff tenant, the choice would be to use service principal authentication (app within the blob tenant), else sas authentication and worst case scenario access key authentication
