Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias in several ways. SMB share management is described exclusively via Windows tools (MMC console, Windows Explorer, 'net view'), with no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives for managing SMB shares or ACLs. All screenshots and examples for SMB features (access-based enumeration, nonbrowsable shares, encryption) use Windows interfaces. There are no Linux or Samba examples for SMB share access, enumeration, or ACL management, and the documentation does not mention how Linux clients interact with these features or how administrators can manage SMB permissions from Linux systems.
Recommendations
- Include examples and screenshots of managing SMB shares and ACLs from Linux clients, such as using smbclient, mount.cifs, or setfacl.
- Describe how Linux/Samba clients interact with SMB features like access-based enumeration and nonbrowsable shares.
- Provide parity in instructions for managing SMB share permissions, including Linux command-line tools and Samba configuration.
- Mention cross-platform tools or APIs for managing share-level permissions, not just Windows MMC.
- Clarify any limitations or differences in SMB feature support between Windows and Linux clients.
