Summary
The documentation page for Azure built-in roles for Storage shows evidence of Windows bias primarily in the descriptions and role mappings for Azure File Sync and SMB file share roles. Several roles reference Windows concepts such as NTFS permissions, ACLs, and SMB, and some descriptions explicitly state equivalence to Windows file server ACLs or note the absence of built-in Windows equivalents. There is little to no mention of Linux-specific file system concepts, tools, or parity, and the documentation does not provide Linux-centric examples or mappings.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux/NFS-specific role mappings and descriptions where relevant, especially for file share and ACL-related roles.
  • Where roles reference Windows ACLs or NTFS permissions, provide equivalent Linux concepts (e.g., POSIX ACLs, NFS permissions) and clarify cross-platform applicability.
  • Include examples or notes for Linux users, such as how RBAC roles interact with Linux-based clients or NFS mounts.
  • Review and update documentation to ensure parity in describing both Windows and Linux scenarios, tools, and terminology.
  • If certain roles are only applicable to Windows, explicitly state this and provide guidance for Linux users on alternative approaches.
