AccessPolicy Class

  • Reference

Access Policy class used by the set and get acl methods in each service.

A stored access policy can specify the start time, expiry time, and permissions for the Shared Access Signatures with which it's associated. Depending on how you want to control access to your resource, you can specify all of these parameters within the stored access policy, and omit them from the URL for the Shared Access Signature. Doing so permits you to modify the associated signature's behavior at any time, as well as to revoke it. Or you can specify one or more of the access policy parameters within the stored access policy, and the others on the URL. Finally, you can specify all of the parameters on the URL. In this case, you can use the stored access policy to revoke the signature, but not to modify its behavior.

Together the Shared Access Signature and the stored access policy must include all fields required to authenticate the signature. If any required fields are missing, the request will fail. Likewise, if a field is specified both in the Shared Access Signature URL and in the stored access policy, the request will fail with status code 400 (Bad Request).

The time at which the shared access signature becomes invalid. Required unless an id is given referencing a stored access policy which contains this field.

If a date is passed in without timezone info, it is assumed to be UTC.
