# Share the Storage Account Access Key

This method is not recommended.

In some rare cases it might be handy to share the Access Key to your Storage Account where Bsure Insights stores your collected user data. When using this method the users must install the Bsure Insights app from Appsource themselves, and use the key to connect to the data.

{% hint style="danger" %}
The Access Key gives **full access** to the storage account. 
{% endhint %}

1. Go to [portal.azure.com](https://portal.azure.com), and locate the *Storage Account* you used when you installed Bsure Insights.<br>

2. Select **Access keys** in the **Security + networking** section of the menu<br>

3. Copy the **Storage account name** and the **key2** key.

4. Share the storage account name and key with the user in a safe way.

{% hint style="danger" %}
If you choose to use this method, you should **not share key1**. This is used by the Data Collector app. If this key needs to be rotated, Bsure Insights needs to be reinstalled.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.bsure.io/v1/user-guides/share-the-power-bi-app/share-the-storage-account-access-key.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
