Allow Azure Blob Storage Connection using Container Level SAS

Planned
Deepu Gopinathan User

Which connector?: Azure Blob Storage Connection

 

Additional details: Currently fivetran has a limitation that it needs a Storage Account Level SAS to create connection to Azure Blob Storage. For many customers, this may prove as a limitation, as there might be multiple containers within the storage account and you want to limit access to specific container only. Generally for other tools or programming we use container level SAS to handle such scenario, and we would like to see fivetran also support this in future

    Hi Deepu, 

    Thank you for raising this request. We support limiting access to particular containers in a storage account using Microsoft Entra ID. See the first authentication method on the setup guide here.

    Thank you,
    Parmeet

    Thanks Parmeet. Unfortunately the entra id option will not work for us, since this for an external entity to consume the files we deliver on Azure Blob Storage Containers. Currenlty, they use python code, or some ETL tools like SSIS to connect, read and download the file using Container level SAS tokens. It would be great if fivetran could also support that functionality sometime in the future. Thanks

    Thank you for that context, Deepu. I've added this to the backlog and will let you know when we add support.

    Hello,

    our team also needs this functionality as we work with a vendor data and they can only grant us container level access and have some concerns with the Microsoft Entra ID workaround recommendation.

    Thank you

    Thank you for raising the request, Donka. We are aiming to have container level SAS for Azure Blob Storage available by mid to end next month, Sept '26. I'll keep this thread updated.

    Best,
