Proper usage of SAS tokens is an important task, especially when leveraging multiple services of Azure Storage such as blobs, tables, and queues. The better you manage them, the easier it is to properly secure resources and the data stored in them. In this section, you will learn how to generate tokens for different parts of your storage and ensure granular access to them.

- Use the commands available in the Azure CLI and create a SAS for different services
- Use the SDK for the programming language of your choice and execute a program that generates a token
- Use Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer to easily generate the token with just a few clicks
For the purpose of this book, I have made no assumptions when it comes to a programming language you are familiar with, so we will focus on the first and the last solutions (using the Azure CLI or Azure Storage Explorer).
