Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows ACLs as the only supported access control mechanism at the directory/file level, mentioning Windows-specific tools (robocopy) for data migration and ACL preservation, and omitting Linux/macOS equivalents or examples. The language and examples prioritize Windows patterns and do not address how Linux or macOS users can manage ACLs or migrate data with ACLs.
Recommendations
- Include information on how Linux/macOS users can interact with Azure Files, especially regarding ACLs (e.g., support for POSIX ACLs, or clarify limitations).
- Provide examples of data migration and ACL preservation using Linux/macOS tools (such as rsync, smbclient, or Azure CLI), or explicitly state if such functionality is not supported.
- Clarify whether non-Windows clients can set or preserve ACLs, and if not, suggest alternative approaches for Linux/macOS environments.
- Balance examples by listing both Windows and Linux/macOS tools for common tasks, or note platform-specific limitations.
