Summary
The documentation page displays a moderate Windows bias in its coverage of SMB share permissions. It references Windows-specific tools (MMC console, Windows Explorer, 'net view') for managing and viewing SMB shares, and all screenshots and examples for SMB are Windows-centric. There are no Linux/macOS examples or instructions for managing SMB shares or ACLs, nor is there mention of equivalent Linux tools (e.g., smbclient, mount.cifs, setfacl). NFS sections are platform-neutral, but SMB coverage is Windows-focused.
Recommendations
- Include examples and screenshots for managing SMB shares and ACLs from Linux/macOS clients (e.g., using smbclient, mount.cifs, setfacl).
- Mention Linux/macOS tools and commands for accessing and managing SMB shares, alongside Windows tools.
- Clarify whether features like access-based enumeration and nonbrowsable shares are visible or configurable from non-Windows clients.
- Provide guidance for Linux/macOS users on how to view and interact with SMB share permissions.
- Reorder sections or examples so that platform coverage is balanced, or explicitly note platform differences.
