Summary
The documentation exclusively presents Windows-based tools and workflows (Windows Explorer, Microsoft Management Console) for managing SMB share ACLs in Azure NetApp Files. There are no Linux or cross-platform alternatives mentioned, and all instructions and screenshots are Windows-specific. This creates a strong Windows bias and leaves out users who may be administering from Linux or other non-Windows environments.
Recommendations
- Include equivalent instructions for viewing and managing SMB share ACLs from Linux systems, such as using smbclient, smbcacls, or other Samba tools.
- Explicitly state if certain operations (such as modifying share-level ACLs) are only possible from Windows, and provide any available workarounds or alternatives for non-Windows users.
- Add a section or note addressing cross-platform management, clarifying limitations and suggesting best practices for Linux/macOS administrators.
- Where possible, provide command-line examples (e.g., PowerShell and Bash/smbcacls) side by side to improve parity.
