I don't think it does ;-)

I think the OP is asking the 'share' tab on windows, this doesn't have
anything to do with what you have posted.

The main tab the OP should be worried about is the 'security' tab (for
which a better name would 'NTFS permissions').

Can I also point out that you shouldn't be using any of the old
documentation when it comes to a Samba AD DC, you should be reading
this:

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setting_up_a_Share_Using_Windows_ACLs

Where it clearly states 'Samba does not support using POSIX ACLs on a
DC. You must use Windows ACLs.'
