Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias by repeatedly referencing Windows-specific concepts (such as Windows ACLs), recommending Windows patterns for granular access control, and mentioning Windows tools (e.g., PowerShell cmdlets) for migration and management. Linux equivalents for file-level permissions (e.g., POSIX ACLs) are not discussed, and the documentation does not provide guidance or examples for Linux clients or administrators. All examples and migration tools are Windows-centric, and the documentation assumes familiarity with Windows AD and Kerberos environments.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance and examples for Linux clients, including how to assign and manage share-level permissions from Linux systems.
- Discuss POSIX ACLs and how they interact with Azure Files, especially for NFS shares or Linux SMB clients.
- Provide parity in tooling by including Linux command-line examples (e.g., using smbclient, mount.cifs, or Azure CLI from Linux shells) for assigning permissions and accessing shares.
- Clarify how identity-based authentication and RBAC apply to Linux users/groups, and document any limitations or differences.
- Mention and link to documentation for Linux-based migration tools or scripts, if available, or provide recommendations for cross-platform migration strategies.
