Summary
The documentation focuses on SMB Azure file shares and authorization, with a clear emphasis on Windows concepts such as Windows ACLs and Windows tools like robocopy. Only Windows ACLs are mentioned for directory/file-level permissions, and the example tool for copying ACLs is robocopy, which is Windows-specific. There is no mention of Linux/macOS equivalents for ACLs or file transfer tools, nor any guidance for non-Windows environments.
Recommendations
- Clarify whether Azure Files supports POSIX ACLs for NFS shares or Linux clients, and if so, provide documentation or links.
- Include examples or guidance for copying data and preserving ACLs from Linux/macOS systems, such as using rsync, cp --preserve, or Azure CLI/REST API.
- Mention any limitations or differences in ACL support for non-Windows clients.
- If Windows ACLs are the only supported model for SMB Azure file shares, explicitly state this to set expectations for Linux/macOS users.
