Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by consistently referencing Windows concepts (such as Windows ACLs), recommending Windows-based patterns (Active Directory, Windows ACLs), and providing PowerShell examples. There is no mention of Linux/Unix equivalents for file-level permissions, nor guidance for users managing Azure Files from Linux clients. The documentation assumes a Windows-centric environment for both identity and access management.
Recommendations
- Include explicit guidance for Linux clients, such as how to mount and access Azure Files from Linux using SMB or NFS (where supported), and how permissions are handled in those scenarios.
- Discuss the limitations or differences in file-level permission enforcement when accessing Azure Files from Linux systems, and provide best practices for Linux administrators.
- Provide CLI and scripting examples that are platform-agnostic or include bash/shell scripts where possible, not just PowerShell.
- Clarify whether and how Linux-based identity providers (such as LDAP or Kerberos on Linux) can integrate with Azure Files, or explicitly state if such scenarios are unsupported.
- Balance references to Windows ACLs with explanations of how access control works (or does not work) for non-Windows clients.
