Document Details

The documentation page exhibits a Windows-centric bias in several ways: it repeatedly references Windows-specific concepts such as Windows ACLs for granular access control, and examples for migrating permissions use a PowerShell cmdlet tailored for on-premises Windows SMB shares. The documentation discusses authentication and authorization patterns primarily in the context of Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), Kerberos, and Microsoft Entra ID, all of which are most commonly deployed in Windows environments. There is no mention of Linux file permissions (e.g., POSIX ACLs), nor are there examples or guidance for managing Azure Files from Linux clients. The use of PowerShell is prominent, and while Azure CLI is included, there are no Linux-specific tools or scenarios discussed.
