Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. All examples and instructions for managing SMB permissions and shares are given using Windows tools (MMC, Windows Security tab), with no mention of Linux SMB clients or their management tools. The 'non-browsable-share' feature is described only in terms of Windows client behavior and Windows commands. There are no examples or guidance for Linux users on how to mount, access, or manage SMB volumes, nor are Linux tools (such as smbclient, mount.cifs, or Samba utilities) referenced.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent instructions and screenshots for managing SMB permissions and shares from Linux clients (e.g., using smbclient, setfacl, or mount.cifs).
  • Describe how Linux users can mount and access SMB volumes, including example commands.
  • Clarify which features (such as non-browsable shares, access-based enumeration, and SMB3 encryption) are supported and behave on Linux clients.
  • Reference Linux documentation and tools alongside Windows tools, and avoid presenting Windows instructions exclusively or first.
  • Include troubleshooting steps and best practices for Linux SMB clients.
