Hello Kartheek.k

Thank you for your question!

I recommend utilizing SAS tokens, which offer restricted, time-limited access to particular containers, blobs, or files. They are more secure than access keys for delegated access.

Types:

• Account SAS: Grants access to multiple services or resources.
• Service SAS: Limits access to a specific container or blob.
• User Delegation SAS: Uses Azure AD credentials for enhanced security.

Go through the article https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/translator/document-translation/how-to-guides/create-sas-tokens?tabs=Containers which helps you to create user delegation, shared access signature (SAS) tokens, using the Azure portal or Azure Storage Explorer.

Hope the above answer helps! Please let us know do you have any further queries.
