I want to know what is the difference between Azure Storage account and storage as a resource in a resource group. Besides my main Azure account, do I need to create another user account for storage subscription? Or I can just take storage as a resource in one of my subscriptions? I saw this while managing MS SQL Server Backup to MS Azure Tool GUI enter image description here

Not sure what you mean by storage as a resource in a resource group. Can you please elaborate that? - Gaurav Mantri
In azure we take resources right and group then in RGs under Azure account subscription? Can't storage be considered a resource? @GauravMantri - igelr
A Storage account is not a user account. It's what they call each Storage instance that you create. - juunas
The storage account is just the name of the azure resource, it is not a really account like your user account. So in your case, just use your user account to create the resource storage account in your subscription. - Joy Wang

You don't need to create another user account for storage subscription.

Just create an azure storage account as per this article in your current subscription.
