-Unlike other SMB shares you may have interacted with, such as those hosted on a Windows Server, Linux Samba server, or NAS device, Azure file shares do not currently support Kerberos authentication with your Active Directory (AD) or Azure Active Directory (AAD) identity, although this is a feature we are [working on](https://feedback.azure.com/forums/217298-storage/suggestions/6078420-acl-s-for-azurefiles). Instead, you must access your Azure file share with the storage account key for the storage account containing your Azure file share. A storage account key is an administrator key for a storage account, including administrator permissions to all files and folders within the file share you're accessing, and for all file shares and other storage resources (blobs, queues, tables, etc.) contained within your storage account. If this is not sufficient for your workload, [Azure File Sync](storage-sync-files-planning.md) may address the lack of Kerberos authentication and ACL support in the interim until AAD-based Kerberos authentication and ACL support is publicly available.
