Summary
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias primarily in the 'Authorize or deny users' section, where configuration for fine-grained authorization is described only for Windows apps using IIS and web.config, with no Linux equivalent or alternative provided. Windows-specific tools (IIS, web.config) are mentioned exclusively, and the section is introduced as 'Server level (Windows apps only)', placing Windows solutions before any mention of Linux. Other sections generally use cross-platform Azure CLI examples, but the lack of Linux parity in authorization guidance is notable.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent guidance for Linux-based App Service apps, such as how to implement fine-grained authorization using common Linux web servers (e.g., Nginx, Apache) or middleware in popular frameworks.
- Explicitly state how Linux users can achieve similar authorization outcomes, possibly with code samples or configuration examples.
- Ensure that examples and instructions for platform-specific features are balanced, or clearly indicate when a feature is unavailable on Linux and suggest alternatives.
- Consider adding a comparison table or section outlining differences and solutions for both Windows and Linux App Service environments.
