Summary
The documentation contains a Windows bias in the 'Authorize or deny users' section, where server-level authorization is described exclusively for Windows apps using IIS and web.config, without providing equivalent Linux guidance. The Kudu console and web.config editing are presented as the main approach, with no mention of Linux alternatives or parity. Other sections use cross-platform Azure CLI examples and avoid OS-specific instructions.
Recommendations
- Add a section describing how to implement server-level authorization for Linux-based App Service apps, such as using middleware in popular frameworks (e.g., Node.js, Python, .NET Core) or configuring authorization in the application code.
- Explicitly state that server-level authorization via web.config is not available on Linux, and provide links or examples for common Linux-based approaches.
- Ensure that for every Windows/IIS-specific example, an equivalent Linux/app-level example is provided, or at least referenced.
- Review the order of presentation to avoid 'Windows first' bias—consider presenting cross-platform or Linux approaches alongside Windows ones.
- Mention any built-in features or best practices for authorization on Linux App Service (e.g., using .htaccess for PHP, or app-level authorization for other stacks).
