Research direction

Start with the existing documentation on using Managed Identities in this repository. Confirm where the storage account access requirement is described, then document that the Managed Identity needs the "Storage Blob Data Contributor" role on the relevant storage account. Done means the instructions explain this prerequisite and why downloads otherwise fail.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The docs on using Managed Identities do not indicate that you must give the Managed Identity the "Storage Blob Data Contributor" role on the storage account in question. Without this the script will fail to download any referenced files. The docs should be updated to reflect this.
