Shared access signatures (SAS) offer a secure way to grant temporary access to specific resources within your storage account. SAS provides granular control over how clients interact with your data. This includes:
- Resource access: You can define which resources (blobs, files, queues, etc.) the client can access.
- Permission level: You can determine the level of permission granted to the client (read, write, delete, etc.).
- Validity period: You can set an expiration time for the SAS, ensuring access is only granted for a specific duration.
