Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows ACLs for file-level permissions, mentioning Windows tools (robocopy) for data migration, and omitting Linux equivalents or examples. The discussion of access control is framed in terms of Windows concepts and tools, with no guidance for Linux administrators or mention of Linux-compatible methods for managing ACLs or migrating data.
Recommendations
- Include examples and guidance for managing directory and file-level permissions from Linux clients, such as using POSIX ACLs or relevant SMB client tools.
- Mention Linux-compatible tools for copying data and preserving ACLs, such as 'rsync' with SMB mounts, or 'smbclient', alongside robocopy.
- Clarify whether POSIX ACLs are supported and how Linux users can interact with Azure Files ACLs.
- Provide step-by-step instructions or references for configuring access control from Linux systems, ensuring parity with Windows-focused content.
