Embed Video stored on Azure Blob Storage Security

Hello, 

 

I have created a report with embedded .mp4 videos that are stored on an Azure Blob Storage. 

 

For reference, I followed this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8PsruURpCg (using the Power BI HTML embedding visual and creating a column with the video HTML link, that is stored on my Azure Blob container). 


However, to do so I generated a SAS token on Azure that I added to the video URL. However, once this SAS is created, the level of security is considerably reduced since everyone can now access my Blob container. Is there anyway to add security?

 

For example, is it possible to create an on-demand SAS token rather than a static one? The idea would be that when the Power BI user click on the point that usually displays the video, a URL is called that generates an on-demand SAS token and displays the video. 

 

Thank you for your help!

Hi @charlottesmn 

 

As far as I know that is not possible with the SAS token.

 

If this is ONLY for internal users, what you could do is to create an AAD Security Group, then add this AAS Security Group to the reader role on your container?

 

As shown below this is where I added a group to the Reader Role
