Posted on by 13

Hi, We're having a Storage Accounts with Firewall restrictions,the following settings on the Storage Account (our policy is to Enabled from selected virtual networks and IP addresses). Please provide us the documentation on how we can connect the  restricted storage account to Microsoft copilot studio. However from public network setting in storage account we are able to connect using the connector.Thanks in advance for the help!

    Not sure there is straightforward answer to this today unfortunately -- I would suggest you investigate further on-premises data gateway, potentially coupled with Azure API Management

    Don't think it will work directly

    I already have a storage account with network as public access. I am planning to create a virtual Network and connect the storage account with private endpoint so here when i try to connect power automate with the connectors for the Microsoft copilot studio will it work?

    Network isolated resources won't be reachable natively. But you can look at things like the on-premises data gateway to connect network-isolated resources with Power Automate, etc.

    Hi, @HenryJammes ,

    As Microsoft suggests i cant use a storage account behind a fire wall does it mean any azure service created in private network will not work as expected in PVA(Microsoft Copilot Studio)

    Then I think you found the answer -- this isn't supported.

    @HenryJammes 
    Thanks for sharing the above documents,but just to confirm is there any detail documentation on Tags and how we can use in power platform.
    Also in one of the Microsoft Documentation saw the  below limitation using the azure blob storage connector;

    1. In Power Automate and Power Apps we don't support connecting to storage accounts that are behind firewalls. Even if your connection works now, please don't rely on it since it can be broken in the future. There is only one reliable workaround as of now - don't use firewalls in your storage accounts if you want to connect to them from Power Platform.
      https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/azureblob/ -- Could you check and let me know if it is a known limitation.
