Prerequisites to Create a Microsoft Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 Connection

Back Next

Overview

You can use PowerExchange® for Microsoft Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 to connect to Microsoft Azure Data Lake Storage Gen 2 using Azure Active Directory (AAD) principal-based authentication.

Before you create a Microsoft Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 connection, complete the following prerequisite tasks:

Create a storage account to use with Microsoft Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2, enable Hierarchical namespace
, and provide

Contributor

Reader

role to users.

The contributor role grants you full access to manage all resources in the storage account, but does not allow you to assign roles.

The reader role allows you to view all resources in the storage account, but does not allow you to make any changes.

To add or remove role assignments, you must have write and delete permissions, such as an Owner role.

Create a Blob container in the storage account.

Register a new application in Azure Active Directory to authenticate users to access the Microsoft Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 account. Provide

Storage Blob Data Contributor

Storage Blob Data Reader

role to the application.

The Storage Blob Data Contributor role lets you read, write, and delete Azure Storage containers and blobs in the storage account.

The Storage Blob Data Reader role lets you only read and list Azure Storage containers and blobs in the storage account.

To write to or delete Azure Storage containers and blobs, you must have the Contributor role either at the storage account level or the container level.

Set the Access Control List to provide the read, write, and execute permissions to Microsoft Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2.
