Hello Team,
I can't generate a SAS inside a Folder. I can only generate the SAS and connectionstring for the parent Folder. Therefore, when I give permissions for that Parent Folder, I am giving the same permissions for all subfolders. How can I avoid that? I connect from Azure Storage Explorer - Blob Container
Many Thanks

    @Merabet Ponton, E Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, Thank you for posting your query here!

    Presently, SAS token can't be generated at the Folder level in Azure Storage Account.

    Already Azure feedback on SAS token at folder level has been submitted, you can up-vote the idea, All the feedback you share in these forums will be monitored and reviewed by the Microsoft engineering teams responsible for building Azure.

    Generating SAS at folder level is only supported for storage accounts with hierarchical namespace enabled ( i.e ADLS Gen 2 accounts)

    Hello @shiva patpi ,

    I can't do that. When I click, right button, on any of the child folder, only appears Copy URL option. Just let me do it and click the Generate SAS option in the parent folder or in a file in any folder.

    Many Thanks
