 If `user_assigned_id` is used, authentication is done via user-assigned managed identity. When using `user_assigned_id` the `msi_resource` defaults to `https://<storage_account>.<endpoint>`
 
+If `storage_connection_string` is set, the values of `storage_account` and `endpoint` values will not be used. Use this method over `storage_account_key` if you need to authenticate via a SAS token.
+
 The generic `max_retries` will be used as value for the `pipeline_config`'s `max_tries` and `reader_config`'s `max_retry_requests`. For more control, `max_retries` could be ignored (0) and one could set specific retry values.
