Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows ACLs and Windows-specific tools (e.g., robocopy) for managing permissions and copying data. There are no examples or mentions of Linux/macOS equivalents for ACL management or data migration, and Windows terminology is used throughout without cross-platform context.
Recommendations
- Include examples and guidance for managing ACLs on Azure Files from Linux/macOS clients, such as using SMB clients (e.g., smbclient, mount.cifs) and POSIX ACLs where supported.
- Mention Linux-compatible tools for copying files and preserving ACLs, such as rsync or cp with appropriate flags, and clarify any limitations or differences in ACL support.
- Provide a section or note on cross-platform access patterns, highlighting any differences in ACL enforcement or configuration between Windows and non-Windows systems.
- List both Windows and Linux/macOS tools side-by-side when discussing file migration or permission management.
