Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias by repeatedly referencing Windows concepts (ACLs, AD DS, Kerberos), using Windows terminology for access control, and prioritizing Windows-centric tools and patterns. Examples and migration tips focus on PowerShell and Windows file server ACLs, with no mention of Linux file permissions (e.g., POSIX ACLs) or Linux-specific scenarios. All code samples are for Azure CLI and PowerShell, but the underlying permission model and migration guidance are Windows-centric. There is no guidance for Linux administrators or parity for Linux file share management.
Recommendations
- Add examples and guidance for managing Azure Files permissions from Linux systems, including POSIX ACLs if supported.
- Clarify whether Azure Files supports POSIX permissions and, if so, provide equivalent instructions for Linux file shares.
- Include migration guidance for organizations moving from Linux file servers to Azure Files, not just Windows file servers.
- Mention Linux authentication mechanisms (e.g., LDAP, Kerberos on Linux) where relevant, and describe how they interact with Azure Files.
- Provide sample commands using Linux tools (e.g., setfacl, getfacl, smbclient) if applicable.
- Balance references to Windows and Linux in introductory and conceptual sections, ensuring Linux administrators are addressed.
