What is the security risk of sharing Storage Account access keys compared to SAS tokens?

Question

Full control of the entire storage account (read, write, delete, list — everything). Anyone with the key can act like the account owner. No scope, no expiry, no IP restriction. If leaked, you must rotate the key and update all apps → big operational impact. Risk level is very high.
