-- This article assumes you already have a project set up to work with the Azure Blob Storage client library for Python. To learn about setting up your project, including package installation, adding `import` statements, and creating an authorized client object, see [Get started with Azure Blob Storage and Python](storage-blob-python-get-started.md).
-- The [authorization mechanism](../common/authorize-data-access.md) must have permissions to create a blob container. To learn more, see the authorization guidance for the following REST API operation:

+#### Authorization
+
+The authorization mechanism must have the necessary permissions to create a container. For authorization with Microsoft Entra ID (recommended), you need Azure RBAC built-in role **Storage Blob Data Contributor** or higher. To learn more, see the authorization guidance for [Create Container (REST API)](/rest/api/storageservices/create-container#authorization).

+If you don't have an existing project, this section shows you how to set up a project to work with the Azure Blob Storage client library for Python. The steps include package installation, adding `import` statements, and creating an authorized client object. For details, see [Get started with Azure Blob Storage and Python](../../articles/storage/blobs/storage-blob-python-get-started.md).
+
+#### Install packages
+
+From your project directory, install packages for the Azure Blob Storage and Azure Identity client libraries using the `pip install` command. The **azure-identity** package is needed for passwordless connections to Azure services.
+
+```console
+pip install azure-storage-blob azure-identity
+```
+
+#### Add `import` statements
+
+Add these `import` statements to your code file:
+
+```python
+from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
+from azure.storage.blob import BlobServiceClient, BlobClient, ContainerClient
+```
+
+Some code examples in this article might require additional `import` statements.
+
+#### Create a client object
+
+To connect an app to Blob Storage, create an instance of [BlobServiceClient](/python/api/azure-storage-blob/azure.storage.blob.blobserviceclient). The following example shows how to create a client object using `DefaultAzureCredential` for authorization:
+
+```python
+def get_blob_service_client_token_credential(self):
+    # TODO: Replace <storage-account-name> with your actual storage account name
+    account_url = "https://<storage-account-name>.blob.core.windows.net"
+    credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
+
+    # Create the BlobServiceClient object
+    blob_service_client = BlobServiceClient(account_url, credential=credential)
+
+    return blob_service_client
+```
+
+You can also create client objects for specific [containers](../../articles/storage/blobs/storage-blob-client-management.md#create-a-blobcontainerclient-object) or [blobs](../../articles/storage/blobs/storage-blob-client-management.md#create-a-blobclient-object). To learn more about creating and managing client objects, see [Create and manage client objects that interact with data resources](../../articles/storage/blobs/storage-blob-client-management.md).
