   • Authentication type: select the authentication method.

     • Azure Account: click Authenticate to get your Azure authentication data. In the windows that opens, select one of the following:

       • Azure CLI (available if you have signed in to Azure CLI).

       • OAuth2: open your default browser to complete Azure authentication.

       • Device code: this will open a window display a device code. Click Copy Code and Open Browser to open your default browser and enter the displayed code there.

   • Choose the way to get Microsoft Azure containers:

     • Select Custom roots and, in the Container field, specify the name of the container or the path to a directory in the container. You can specify multiple names or paths by separating them with a comma.

     • Select All containers in the account. You can then use the container filter to show only containers with particular names.

   Optionally, you can set up:

   • Per project: select to enable these connection settings only for the current project. Deselect it if you want this connection to be visible in other projects.

   • Enable connection: deselect if you want to disable this connection. By default, the newly created connections are enabled.
