Azure Container SAS Token Generation

Generate a SAS Token

Now that we have a Storage Account and a Blob Container, create a Shared Access Signature (SAS) token. This token will allow the AI-READI pipeline to write files to your container. See the Microsoft documentation for more details.

1. From the container, expand the "Settings" menu item and select "Shared access tokens".

   

   Access container settings

2. Set the following options:

   • Permissions: Check only the box for "Write".

     

     Set the token permissions

   • Expiry: Choose a date several weeks or months in the future (e.g., 2 to 3 weeks).

     

     Set the token exipration date

3. Click "Generate SAS token and URL".

   

4. Copy only the "Blob SAS token". It will be in the following format:

   sp=w&st=2025-06-02T23:28:30Z&se=2025-07-04T07:28:30Z&spr=https&sv=2024-11-04&sr=c sig=KBj2FOV...

Important: Only submit the SAS token (do not include the full SAS URL).

Final Checklist

Make sure you have all three of the following:

• Storage Account Name
• Blob Container Name
• Blob SAS Token (Write permission)

Provide this information while requesting access to the AI-READI dataset during the Azure credentials step.
