Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All examples and instructions for configuring directory and file-level permissions for Azure Files are exclusively based on Windows tools and workflows (e.g., icacls, Windows File Explorer, PowerShell). There are no Linux-specific examples or mentions of Linux tools for managing SMB ACLs, and Windows terminology and patterns are used throughout. The mounting instructions and permission configuration steps are all described for Windows environments, with Linux only briefly mentioned as a mounting target in the final 'Next step' section, without any parity in ACL configuration guidance.
Recommendations
- Add Linux-specific instructions and examples for configuring SMB ACLs, such as using setfacl, getfacl, or smbclient.
- Include guidance for mounting Azure Files on Linux with admin-level access and configuring permissions.
- Clarify any limitations or differences in ACL support between Windows and Linux clients for Azure Files.
- Present Windows and Linux examples side-by-side where possible, or at least mention Linux alternatives in each relevant section.
- Update terminology to be more platform-neutral where appropriate (e.g., refer to 'SMB ACLs' rather than 'Windows ACLs' when discussing cross-platform scenarios).
