Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, tools, and patterns. All examples for mounting, configuring, and managing ACLs use Windows-specific commands (net use, icacls, Windows File Explorer, PowerShell). There are no Linux or macOS equivalents provided for mounting SMB shares with admin access or configuring ACLs. The documentation assumes a Windows client and Active Directory integration, with no mention of Linux tools (e.g., mount.cifs, setfacl) or workflows.
Recommendations
- Add instructions and examples for mounting Azure SMB file shares on Linux (using mount.cifs) with appropriate authentication methods.
- Document how to view and manage file-level permissions (ACLs) on Linux, including any limitations or differences compared to Windows ACLs.
- Clarify whether NTFS ACLs set via Windows tools are visible or enforceable when accessing shares from Linux/macOS clients.
- If Linux/macOS cannot manage ACLs, explicitly state this limitation and suggest alternative access control strategies for non-Windows environments.
- Provide parity in example order: show Linux/macOS options alongside or before Windows examples where possible.
