# Azure Archive Provider Configuration

The Azure Archive Provider writes messages swept from your Outbox into an Azure Blob Storage container.

> **Reference** · Applies to **Brighter V10**

## Azure Archive Provider General

The Azure Archive Provider writes messages swept from your [Outbox](/paramore-brighter-documentation/outbox-and-inbox/brighteroutboxsupport.md) into an Azure Blob Storage container. You configure it with the container's URI, a [token credential](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/azure.core.tokencredential), and the options below.

## Azure Archive Provider Connection

At this time Azure Blob Archive Provider only supports Token Credential for authentication

## Permissions

For the archiver to work the calling credential will require the role **Storage Blob Data Owner** however if **TagBlobs** is set to False then **Storage Blob Data Contributor** will be adequate. If you feel that Data Owner is too high you can create a custom role encompasing Contributor and 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/blobServices/containers/blobs/tags/write'

## Options

* **BlobContainerUri** : The URI of the Blob container to store messages in (i.e. "<https://BlobTest.blob.core.windows.net/messagearchive>)
* **TokenCredential** : The Credential to use when writing the Blob
* **AccessTier** : The Access Tier to write to the blob
* **TagBlobs** : if this is set to True the defined in **TagsFunc** will be written to the blobs
* **TagsFunc** : The function to arrange the tags to add when storing, please note that **TagBlobs** must be True for these to be used, default Tags :
  * topic
  * correlationId
  * message\_type
  * timestamp
  * content\_type
* **StorageLocationFunc** : The function to provide the location to store the message inside of the Blob container, default location : The Id of the message at the root of the **BlobContainerUri**

## 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://brightercommand.gitbook.io/paramore-brighter-documentation/outbox-and-inbox/outboxarchiver/azureblobarchiveprovider/azureblobconfiguration.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.
