Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows tools (File Explorer, icacls, Set-ACL, robocopy) for managing directory and file-level permissions and for preserving ACLs. No Linux or cross-platform equivalents are mentioned, and all examples and instructions assume a Windows environment. The ordering and phrasing also present Windows methods first and exclusively, with no guidance for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Include Linux-compatible instructions and examples for configuring directory and file-level permissions, such as using the 'smbclient' or 'mount.cifs' tools and Linux ACL commands (e.g., 'setfacl', 'getfacl').
- Mention and provide examples of cross-platform or REST API-based methods for managing permissions, if available.
- When discussing tools for copying data and preserving ACLs, reference Linux alternatives (e.g., 'rsync' with SMB mounts, 'smbclient', or other relevant tools) and clarify any limitations or differences.
- Rephrase sections to avoid implying that only Windows environments are supported, and ensure parity in the order and detail of Windows and Linux instructions.
- Add a note or section explicitly addressing Linux/macOS clients and their support or limitations for Azure Files authorization and ACL management.
