Hello, I'm looking to determine what the minimum security Roles I would need to assign to a user that will allow them to create and manage Azure storage containers and Azure Blobs in the azure portal.

thanks,

    Hi Richard Taylor,
    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, thank you for posting your query here!
    To allow a user to create and manage Azure storage containers and blobs in the Azure portal, you can assign them the Storage Blob Data Contributor role. This role provides the necessary permissions to read, write, and delete blob data within Azure Storage containers.

    The key permissions included in the Storage Blob Data Contributor role:

    • Read: Allows reading of blob data.
    • Write: Allows writing and updating of blob data.
    • Delete: Allows deletion of blob data.

    If you need the user to manage the storage account itself (e.g., creating and deleting containers), you might consider the Storage Account Contributor role, which includes broader permissions.
    For more detailed information, you can refer to the Azure documentation:
