Whilst that would no doubt work; the reason for using existing credentials is to simplify the user experience for a non-technical user audience. Asking a user of an average Enteprise IT environment to use an API key is messy. It also opens up a new security concern with regards to key management practices.
I don't imagine that would gain traction in our environment.

You can generate a SAS key having mimimum required permission with an expiry date. stedurbin - That is what I love about MS - Hard solution first which nobody wants to use and when customers cry, they come back with easy to use solutions.
