Customer-managed keys can enabled on both existing storage accounts or new accounts as you create them. If you plan to enable customer-managed keys while creating an account, only user-assigned managed identities will be available. To use a system-assigned managed identity, you'll have to create the account first, and then enable customer-managed keys. That's because the system-assigned managed identity can exist only after the account is created.

You can switch between customer-managed keys and Microsoft-managed keys at any time. For more information about Microsoft-managed keys, see [About encryption key management](storage-service-encryption.md#about-encryption-key-management).
