Summary:
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. All examples and instructions for managing SMB volume permissions and share properties are provided exclusively for Windows environments, specifically referencing Windows SMB clients, Microsoft Management Console (MMC), and Windows File Explorer. There are no examples or guidance for Linux clients, even though SMB is cross-platform and Linux clients (e.g., using smbclient, mount.cifs, or Nautilus) are common in enterprise environments. The documentation assumes Windows as the default or only client, omitting Linux tools and workflows.
Recommendations:
- Add parallel instructions and screenshots for managing SMB share and NTFS permissions from Linux clients, using tools such as smbclient, mount.cifs, or GUI file managers (e.g., Nautilus, Dolphin).
- Include examples of mounting the SMB volume from Linux, with sample mount commands and troubleshooting tips.
- Mention Linux equivalents for tasks like viewing shares (e.g., smbclient -L), modifying permissions (e.g., setfacl, or using smbclient's 'chmod' and 'chown' commands where supported).
- Clarify that SMB volumes can be accessed and managed from both Windows and Linux clients, and provide links to relevant Linux documentation.
- Avoid assuming Windows as the only or primary environment by rephrasing sections to be platform-neutral where possible.
