Azure Maps visual with URL access

Hi Anonymous ,

Please refer below sample valid SAS token URL structure for Azure Blob Storage that should work with Azure Maps in Power BI.

https://<storage-account>.blob.core.windows.net/<container>/<file>.geojson?

sv=2022-11-02
&st=2025-09-05T12:00:00Z
&se=2025-09-05T20:00:00Z
&sr=b
&sp=r
&sig=AbCdEfGhIjKlMnOpQrStUvWxYz1234567890%2Fabcdefg%3D

sv --> Storage service version (e.g 2022-11-02)
st --> Start time (UTC) when the SAS becomes valid
se --> Expiry time (UTC) when the SAS expires
sr --> Resource type (b for blob, c for container)
sp --> Permissions (r for read)
sig --> HMAC-SHA256 signature generated using the storage account key

Note: Check the URL is accessed over HTTPS, and the blob is not set to public access if you are relying solely on the SAS token for security.

Please try below additional Security things.

1. Use User Delegation SAS, It is more secure than account-level SAS. Tied to Azure AD identities. Requires role assignment for Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/blobServices/generateUserDelegationKey.

2. Use the sip parameter to restrict access to specific IP ranges.

3. Use spr=https to enforce HTTPS-only access.

Please refer below sample SAS Token URL Structure with all security parameters.
