Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows ACLs, Windows tools (robocopy), and Windows-centric patterns for managing permissions on Azure Files. There are no examples or mentions of Linux equivalents, nor is there guidance for Linux administrators on how to manage directory/file-level permissions or preserve ACLs when importing data.
Recommendations
- Add examples and guidance for managing Azure Files permissions from Linux clients, including how to work with POSIX ACLs if supported.
- Mention and provide usage instructions for Linux-compatible file transfer tools (e.g., rsync, smbclient, mount.cifs) and clarify their behavior regarding ACL preservation.
- Clarify whether POSIX ACLs are supported or how Linux ACLs map to Windows ACLs in Azure Files.
- Include step-by-step instructions or references for Linux administrators to configure share-level and file-level permissions.
- Balance tool recommendations by listing both Windows and Linux options for copying data and preserving ACLs.
