Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, tools, and patterns. All examples for mounting and configuring ACLs use Windows-specific commands (net use, icacls, Windows File Explorer, PowerShell), and there is no mention of Linux equivalents or how to manage file-level permissions from Linux clients. Windows terminology and tools are used exclusively or introduced before any cross-platform considerations. The only Linux reference is in the final 'Next step' section, which links to a separate page but does not provide any Linux-specific guidance or examples within the main content.
Recommendations
- Add Linux-specific instructions and examples for mounting Azure file shares and managing permissions, including relevant SMB client commands (e.g., mount.cifs, smbclient) and ACL management tools (e.g., setfacl, getfacl).
- Clarify whether Windows ACLs can be managed or enforced from Linux clients and, if not, explain the limitations and alternatives for Linux environments.
- Provide parity in examples by including both Windows and Linux workflows side-by-side where possible, especially for mounting shares and configuring permissions.
- Explicitly mention any cross-platform limitations or requirements for Azure Files ACLs, so Linux administrators understand what is and isn't possible.
- Consider restructuring the documentation so that Windows and Linux approaches are presented with equal prominence, rather than Windows-first.
