# Azure Storage Discovery concepts

The concepts and terminology used throughout this documentation are defined below.

### Azure Storage Discovery Workspace (ASDW)
16-
The Azure Storage Discovery Workspace is the resource used to deploy and manage Storage Discovery in your subscription. It defines the scope of analysis - such as subscriptions or resource groups and once created, it enables visibility into capacity, transactions, and configuration trends across storage accounts within the selected "scope".

Once a discovery workspace is created in a specific region, it can aggregate metrics from storage accounts located across a broader set of supported regions, irrespective of the region in which the discovery workspace itself resides.

### Define WorkspaceRoots

WorkspaceRoots specifies the top-level Azure resource identifiers - such as subscriptions or resource groups - where Storage Discovery initiates its scan for storage accounts. These identifiers serve as the root of the discovery process, defining the overall scope and boundaries of your Azure estate that is analyzed. Select the subscriptions and/or resource groups that need to be included in the workspace.

Once the subscriptions, resource groups or tenant is added to the workspace, an access check is run to verify if the user has Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/read on the added resources. As the checks are running, status of the run is as shown:
