How can I setup Azure Blob Storage with Terra API

Question

I have been trying to setup the Azure Blob Storage destination provided by Terra to store the raw health data files, but I keep recieving the same error message when I paste the SAS url into the modal: "Insufficient permissions - invalid SAS url provided". Unsure how to fix this, is there something I am doing wrong?

Hello there, This error message indicates the SAS URL points to a valid bucket, however the signature does not allow Terra to perform the necessary operations to populate your bucket with health and fitness data. When generating the URL, make sure the check the appropriate permissions to allow Terra to Read, Update, Create, Add, Delete files.

You will know the URL is valid when it contains the query parameter sp=racwd which indicates all the necessary permissions have been provided.

That worked! Thank you. Why does Terra need the delete permission? Why would files ever be deleted in this case

Daniel · Answer

Good question, the Delete permission is only used when setting up the destination for the first time. We write and delete a _healthcheck_ file to the destination in order to test the connection
