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 focused on Windows tools and workflows, such as Windows ACLs (NTFS), icacls, Windows File Explorer, and PowerShell. There are no examples or guidance for Linux clients, nor any mention of Linux-compatible ACL management tools or patterns. The documentation assumes the use of Windows authentication models and omits Linux-specific considerations for mounting or managing permissions.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance and examples for configuring file and directory permissions from Linux clients, including supported ACL models and tools (e.g., setfacl, getfacl).
- Clarify whether Linux SMB clients can manage or honor Windows ACLs, and document any limitations or requirements.
- Provide Linux command-line examples for mounting Azure Files shares and managing permissions, alongside Windows examples.
- Discuss cross-platform interoperability for ACLs, including how permissions set on Windows are interpreted on Linux and vice versa.
- Include troubleshooting tips for Linux users encountering permission issues with Azure Files.
