Cannot access container in a Storage account

Question

I am trying to follow this quickstart: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-quickstart-blobs-portal

However, after creating the container, I can't navigate to it in order to upload a blob.

In particular, I get an error saying "This request is not authorized to perform this operation."

Answer 1

Hello @aliasmrchips ,
Just to confirm your issue was due to the Firewall of the storage account.

On the Azure Portal you saw for your storage account Firewall was enabled.
(Storage Account -> Networking -> Allow Access from "Selected Networks")

To resolve the issue: You have selected "All Networks".

Answer 2

Hello @aliasmrchips ,
Thanks for your query , some times this might happen due to in-sufficient privileges'

Can you try adding below role for that storage account ?

Steps:

1. Browse to Storage Account in the Azure Portal
2. Access Control (IAM)
3. Grant Access to this resource section (Add Role Assignments)
4. Role: Storage Blob Data Contributor
   Assign Access to: Use the default values (I.e. User , Group , or Service Principal)
   Select: User Name
5. Save

Kindly let us know if those steps help you out in resolving the issue and don't forget to "Accept the Answer".

Answer 3

add the storage direct "Reader" for that user

Answer 4

I am the owner, which seems like it should be sufficient. I tried adding myself to the container, to the storage account and to the subscription as a Contributor and a Storage Blob Data Contributor, all to no effect. I also tried logging out and back in and using the Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer application.
