Tools to upload via Container Access Policy

Question

I've created a Container Access Policy for a container I want another person to have full access to, but I don't want them to have access to the rest of the storage account. Now that I have a CAP are there any UI tools out there that would allow them to view the contents and upload/download/delete files?

All of the tools I have come across require the full storage account access key.

Any thoughts?

Hi Curious

The only way is we can use  Shared Access Signature

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/hh508996.aspx

Elements of a Shared Access Signature URL

The URL for a Shared Access Signature includes components that specify the resource to make accessible, the interval over which the Shared Access Signature is valid, the permissions associated with the signature, an optional access policy identifier associated with the request, and the signature itself. The following figure represents the parts of the Shared Access Signature URL. Required parts appear in orange. The parts of the URL are described in the subsequent sections.

We can create the Shared Access Signature URL to the user who you want to grant the permission and access the spceifed contain or blob.

Answer 3

Yes I do understand how Shared Access Signature work. What I am wondering is if there are any nice UI tools that allow you to manage files that you have access to via SAS. Everything seems to require a full storage account key.

Answer 4

Yes, it needs full storage account key first to set each container permission.

We don't have any role base security by default, it depends on your code to manage files permission for different users.
