 Once you've enabled an Active Directory (AD) source for your storage account, you must configure share-level permissions in order to get access to your file share. There are two ways you can assign share-level permissions. You can assign them to [specific Azure AD users/groups](#share-level-permissions-for-specific-azure-ad-users-or-groups), and you can assign them to all authenticated identities as a [default share-level permission](#share-level-permissions-for-all-authenticated-identities).

 > [!TIP]
 > Optional: Customers who want to migrate SMB server share-level permissions to RBAC permissions can use the `Move-OnPremSharePermissionsToAzureFileShare` PowerShell cmdlet to migrate directory and file-level permissions from on-premises to Azure. This cmdlet evaluates the groups of a particular on-premises file share, then writes the appropriate users and groups to the Azure file share using the three RBAC roles. You provide the information for the on-premises share and the Azure file share when invoking the cmdlet.

+Before you begin this article, make sure you've read [Assign share-level permissions to an identity](storage-files-identity-ad-ds-assign-permissions.md) to ensure that your share-level permissions are in place with Azure role-based access control (RBAC).
 
 After you assign share-level permissions, you must first connect to the Azure file share using the storage account key and then configure Windows access control lists (ACLs), also known as NTFS permissions, at the root, directory, or file level. While share-level permissions act as a high-level gatekeeper that determines whether a user can access the share, Windows ACLs operate at a more granular level to control what operations the user can do at the directory or file level.
 
-Both share-level and file/directory level permissions are enforced when a user attempts to access a file/directory, so if there's a difference between either of them, only the most restrictive one will be applied. For example, if a user has read/write access at the file level, but only read at a share level, then they can only read that file. The same would be true if it was reversed: if a user had read/write access at the share-level, but only read at the file-level, they can still only read the file.
