Is there a way to download the files from the storage blob without the subscription ID?

SubscriptionID is a mandatory parameter of “Azure Scope” activity, so you must set that parameter.

Thanks,
We are trying to use this activity but we keep getting exceptions about permissions.

What are the minimum permissions we need to give for the app to be able to use the activity only to download files from the blob and upload files from the blob?
For example:
Do we still need to give permissions to create a resource group although we are not going to use it?

Thank You

Hi @asaad.neamah. Try with Reader and Data Access which means “Lets you view everything but will not let you delete or create a storage account or contained resource. It will also allow read/write access to all data contained in a storage account via access to storage account keys.”

Hi @ovidiuponoran,

We gave that permission but we still get the following error

Source: Get Storage Account

Message: Unable to get storage account “###########” in resource group “###########”
Error: The client ‘###########’ with object id ‘###########’ does not have authorization to perform action ‘Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/read’ over scope ‘/subscriptions/###########/###########/###########/providers/Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/###########’ or the scope is invalid. If access was recently granted, please refresh your credentials.

Exception Type: UiPath.Azure.Core.AzureException

Are these activities open source? I would really like to contribute and extend them, but I haven’t found a way to do so.

If they aren’t open source, can they be made open source?

Hi @nkuik.

They are not open source.
These activities are developed by UiPath and available on the Official feed.
If our clients and the community request new activities, we will develop new activities for future versions of the Azure package.

Which new activities do you have in mind?

@ ovidiuponoran: we are facing some wired issue. while uploading files from onprem to azure files are uploading in to container with uipath.azure.model.blob name and all files are merged in to one file. we have updated latest version as well.

I would rather not have to request an issue and wait for it to be developed. Rather, I prefer to be able to view the implementation of the activity, as is possible with the Community Activities. Otherwise there is no way for me to determine if the code is tested or how it is implemented and must develop using a black-boxed code. Without being able to see the code, I cannot make an informed decision about whether or not I should use it.

Is there a specific company policy regarding why it is not open-sourced?

@Nareshynn: first please compare your implementation with our sample code available in Secure Cloud Storage for Accounting Reports section which works smoothly.

@ovidiuponoran, that’s really awesome. I have been waiting for this package. Thanks

Also, please let me know if any tutorial is available for the same?

What’s on the Official feed is not intended to be open-source. All packages published on the Official feed went through a rigorous process within UiPath (QA + at least 85% unit test coverage, security &legal assessment, etc). UiPath offers support for this package (bug fixing, enhancements, extending the package with new activities - based on priority) .

You always can implement you own activities package.

I’ve written you a private message asking for a sample workflow demonstrating the issue you encountered. For us it works well (I’ve also sent you the exact parameters we are using when calling Upload Blob from File including a sample workflow).
