How fix anonymous access is disabled on this storage account

Question

In attempting to do Unit 5 Exercise - Configure a resource lock in Azure Fundamentals Training when trying to create a Container I get the following error popup.

"The access level is set to private because anonymous access is disabled on this storage account."

And a log entry is created ErrorLogScreenshot.jpgsee attached.

I found a similar posting showing how to fix but in checking Access Control it shows I have full access - see second screenshot

Any help will be appreciatedErrorLogScreenshot2.jpg.

Thanks,

You need to modify the storage account configuration to allow setting the access level of its containers to either blob or container. Follow https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/anonymous-read-access-configure?tabs=portal

To allow or disallow anonymous access for a storage account in the Azure portal, follow these steps:

Navigate to your storage account in the Azure portal.

Locate the Configuration setting under Settings.

1. Set Allow Blob anonymous access to Enabled.
