Right way to give Service Principals access to ADLS files

We have an Azure Datalake Store with a lot of directories and files in it. Now we want to give access to a subset of these files to a growing list of service principals. Because it would take very long to add each service principal on its own, we would like to use a different/bundled approach. What is the best way to do this in Azure? Using groups, roles or permissions for example?

Thanks for your help!

You could create an Azure AD security group in Azure Active Directory -> Groups -> New Group, see this link, then add it in the Access of your ADLS file with the permissions you need.

Then if you want to give the permissions to the new service principal, just add it in the Members -> Add members of the group.

For more details, you could refer to Securing data stored in Azure Data Lake Storage Gen1.
