Summary
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias by referencing Azure PowerShell as the only command-line tool for assigning service principal permissions, without mentioning cross-platform alternatives such as Azure CLI. The instructions for automating permissions assignment and role management are portal- or PowerShell-centric, with no examples or guidance for Linux users or Bash scripting. This prioritization of Windows tools and lack of Linux-specific examples may hinder parity and accessibility for users on non-Windows platforms.
Recommendations
  • Add Azure CLI examples for assigning service principal permissions, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux and macOS.
  • Explicitly mention that both Azure PowerShell and Azure CLI can be used, and provide links to relevant CLI documentation.
  • Include Bash script examples for automating permissions assignment, or reference automation via REST API with curl.
  • Ensure that instructions for portal-based actions clarify that the portal is accessible from any OS/browser.
  • Review all referenced links to ensure Linux parity in external documentation.
