Answer 1

Hello prasath s,

Thanks for your question.

Check if Shared Key access is disabled entirely for your storage account. This could be due to:

• Shared Key access being disabled on the storage account
• Insufficient permissions for the identity trying to access the storage account

To solve, follow the steps here:

Hi @prasath s,

@akinbade abiola provided answer is definitely the appropriate course of action. However, I would strongly advise avoiding shared key access usage and move towards leveraging Entra ID for authorized access, as stated under security recommendations. Please see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/authorize-data-access for information.
