Description: A Shared Access Signature (SAS) provides delegated access to resources in a storage account. This mechanism allows users to generate a token that grants specific permissions over cloud storage resources, such as blobs, containers, or storage accounts. SAS is fundamental for managing security and access to data, as it enables resource owners to control who can access them and under what conditions. There are two main types of SAS: account SAS, which provides access to all resources within a storage account, and resource SAS, which is limited to a specific resource. Additionally, SAS can be configured with time restrictions, meaning access can be limited to a specific time frame. This is especially useful for securely sharing data without exposing storage account credentials. The flexibility and control that SAS offers make it an essential tool for developers and system administrators looking to balance data accessibility with security.
