Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. SMB share permissions are described primarily in terms of Windows tools and workflows, such as the Windows MMC console and Windows Explorer. All screenshots and examples for SMB features (access-based enumeration, nonbrowsable shares, share ACLs) use Windows interfaces, with no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives for managing or accessing SMB shares. There are no examples or guidance for managing SMB share permissions from Linux or macOS clients, nor are Linux tools (e.g., smbclient, mount.cifs) referenced. The documentation assumes a Windows-centric administrative workflow for SMB, and does not provide parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Include examples of managing and accessing SMB shares from Linux clients, using tools such as smbclient, mount.cifs, or relevant Samba utilities.
- Document how to view and modify SMB share ACLs from Linux or macOS, if supported, or clarify any limitations.
- Provide screenshots or command-line examples for Linux workflows alongside Windows MMC/Explorer examples.
- Mention cross-platform considerations for SMB features (access-based enumeration, nonbrowsable shares, SMB3 encryption) and how they manifest for non-Windows clients.
- Clarify whether Azure NetApp Files SMB features are accessible or manageable from Linux/macOS, and provide guidance for those platforms.
