Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: SMB share management is described exclusively via Windows tools (MMC console, Windows Explorer), with no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives for managing SMB shares or ACLs. Examples and screenshots for SMB features (access-based enumeration, nonbrowsable shares, encryption) are all shown in a Windows context, with no Linux or macOS equivalents. The documentation does not provide Linux command-line examples (e.g., using smbclient, setfacl, or mount.cifs) for SMB share access or permission management, nor does it discuss how Linux clients interact with these features.
Recommendations
- Include Linux-based examples for managing and accessing SMB shares, such as using smbclient, mount.cifs, or setfacl.
- Describe how SMB share permissions and features (access-based enumeration, nonbrowsable shares, encryption) behave or can be verified from Linux clients.
- Mention cross-platform tools or methods for managing SMB ACLs, such as using Samba utilities or Azure CLI/REST API, if available.
- Add screenshots or command-line output from Linux environments to illustrate parity with Windows examples.
- Clarify any limitations or differences in feature support between Windows and Linux clients for Azure NetApp Files SMB shares.
