@Sarbpreet Kaur
You can have up to 1000 local users per storage account. You can add a local user by going to Settings, select SFTP, and then select Add local user. Walking through the prompts you will also be able to setup the users permissions for the storage containers. At this time permissions are only supported at the container level and it is not possible to setup permissions for virtual directories.

Please see Configure Permissions for a walk through of adding a user and setting up the permissions.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions or issues.

Hi, Thanks for your help here and apologies for not clearly explaining the question.
I have created an SFTP-Group by following steps here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/samples/azure-samples/sftp-creation-template/sftp-on-azure/

Now I have a single user credential to log into this SFTP using FileZila while my next requirement is to have multiple user logins for my clients. Any help on this would be appreciated.

@Sarbpreet Kaur Apologies for the delayed follow-up. If you are using SFTP we recommend using the managed SFTP service built on Blob Storage. The sample you have linked was designed to have just a single username and password. I am not sure if it would be possible to add multiple users.

Hi @deherman-MSFT can you please let me know if support for multiple users has been added yet to transfer files to Azure File shares using SFTP?
Any help in this regard would be appreciated.

The recommendation is still to use SFTP for Blob Storage.
