Recently, I was working on a requirement for one of my projects. I was trying to create a new container inside one of the storage accounts, but the system didn’t allow me to change the access level for the container, and I got the error “The access level is set to private because anonymous access is disabled on this storage account.”

I will explain the quick steps to fix this error in this tutorial.
I was trying to create a new container, but it didn’t allow me to change the access level, and it is disabled with this error message, as shown in the screenshot below.
Solution
Follow the steps below to fix this error.
- Log in to the Azure Portal.
- Navigate to the same storage accounts where you wish to create the container.
- On the storage account page, expand the settings node, click the Configuration link, select the Enabled option for Allow blob anonymous access, and finally, click the Save button, as shown in the screenshot below.
The storage account has been updated successfully, as shown below.
Now, I again tried adding the new container, and this time, I could change the access level successfully, as shown in the screenshot below.
