> To fully access resources after you sign in, Storage Explorer requires both management (Azure Resource Manager) and data layer permissions. This means that you need Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) permissions, which give you access to your Storage account, the containers in the account, and the data in the containers. If you have permissions only at the data layer, consider [adding a resource through Azure AD](#add-a-resource-via-azure-ad). For more information about the specific permissions Storage Explorer requires, see the [troubleshooting guide](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/storage/common/storage-explorer-troubleshooting?tabs=1804#role-based-access-control-permission-issues).
