Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias in its coverage of SMB share permissions. SMB share management is described exclusively in terms of Windows tools (MMC console, Windows Explorer, 'net view'), with no mention of Linux/macOS alternatives for managing or accessing SMB shares. All screenshots and examples for SMB features (access-based enumeration, nonbrowsable shares, encryption) use Windows interfaces, and Linux methods (such as smbclient, mount.cifs, or Samba tools) are not referenced. The NFS section is platform-neutral and does not show bias.
Recommendations
- Include instructions and examples for managing SMB share permissions and accessing SMB shares from Linux/macOS clients (e.g., using smbclient, mount.cifs, or Samba tools).
- Add screenshots or command-line examples demonstrating how Linux/macOS users can view, mount, and interact with SMB shares, including access-based enumeration and nonbrowsable shares.
- Clarify whether SMB share ACLs and properties can be managed from non-Windows platforms, and if so, provide guidance.
- Where Windows tools are mentioned, add equivalent Linux/macOS commands or note any limitations.
