Summary
The documentation for Azure built-in roles for Storage shows evidence of Windows bias in several areas. Many role descriptions and permission tables reference Windows-specific concepts (e.g., NTFS, SMB, ACLs, file share ACLs, 'no built-in equivalent on Windows file servers'), and the terminology often assumes familiarity with Windows file server models. There are references to Windows ACLs and SMB, and some roles are described in terms of their equivalence or lack thereof to Windows file server roles. There are no explicit Linux or cross-platform examples, nor is there mention of Linux file system permissions or NFS. The documentation does not provide parity in examples or terminology for Linux environments.
Recommendations
- Add Linux/NFS equivalents and terminology where relevant, especially for file share and ACL-related roles.
- Provide cross-platform examples or clarify how roles map to both Windows and Linux file sharing models.
- Avoid describing roles solely in terms of Windows file server equivalence; instead, use neutral or cross-platform language.
- Include documentation links or sections for Linux-specific usage patterns, tools, and permission models.
- Ensure that any references to SMB, NTFS, or Windows ACLs are balanced with information about Linux/NFS and POSIX ACLs where applicable.
