Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows tools (File Explorer, icacls, Set-ACL, robocopy) for configuring and preserving ACLs, and by only discussing Windows ACLs. There are no Linux or cross-platform examples, nor are Linux tools or patterns mentioned for managing permissions or accessing Azure Files.
Recommendations
- Include equivalent Linux instructions and examples for configuring directory and file-level permissions, such as using the 'smbclient', 'mount.cifs', or 'setfacl' commands where applicable.
- Mention and explain how Linux clients can interact with Azure Files, including any limitations or differences in ACL support.
- Provide parity in tool references by listing both Windows and Linux options for copying data and preserving ACLs (e.g., 'rsync' with SMB mounts, or 'cp --preserve=mode' where relevant).
- Clarify whether Windows ACLs are enforced or mapped when accessed from Linux, and provide guidance for mixed-environment scenarios.
- Add a section or note specifically addressing Linux administrators and their workflows for Azure Files authorization and access control.
