Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias by listing PowerShell and Azure Storage Explorer (a GUI tool more common on Windows) before Azure CLI in the 'How to set ACLs' section. PowerShell is given its own row, and Storage Explorer is listed first, while Linux-native tools or shell examples are not provided. The only command-line example for obtaining a service principal's object ID uses Azure CLI, which is cross-platform, but no explicit Linux shell (e.g., bash) or Linux file system command analogies are given. There are no Linux-specific examples or references to Linux command-line tools for managing ACLs, despite the POSIX context.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux shell (bash) examples for managing ACLs using Azure CLI, including sample commands for common tasks.
- Include references to Linux-native tools (e.g., setfacl, getfacl) for users familiar with POSIX ACLs, and draw explicit parallels between Azure Data Lake Storage ACLs and Linux file system ACL management.
- Reorder the 'How to set ACLs' table to list Azure CLI before PowerShell and Storage Explorer, or group CLI tools together to avoid a Windows-first impression.
- Add a section or examples specifically targeting Linux users, such as scripting with bash or integrating with Linux-based automation.
- Clarify that Azure CLI is fully supported on Linux and macOS, and provide installation links or tips for non-Windows environments.
