Greetings!

The inability to view a container object in your Azure storage account is due to an unauthorized request error, specifically a 403 error. This error indicates that public access to the storage account is not authorized.

To resolve this issue, ensure that you have a valid RBAC role assigned to you for authentication. If you are working across multiple tenants, you can use the Resource ID option and set up VNET peering. It's essential to get the VNET peering request approved, as an unapproved request will prevent access.

For a detailed guide on configuring VNET peering between different subscriptions, refer to the official Azure documentation provided below.
