Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias primarily in the troubleshooting steps for Microsoft Entra App permissions, where only PowerShell commands and modules are provided for resolving service principal issues. There are no equivalent instructions or examples for Linux or cross-platform environments (e.g., Azure CLI, Bash, or REST API). The use of PowerShell and references to installing PowerShell modules assume a Windows environment and administrator privileges, potentially excluding users on Linux or macOS. Additionally, the troubleshooting workflow for licensing and admin tasks is centered around the Microsoft 365 Admin Center, which is web-based but often referenced in Windows-centric enterprise contexts.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent troubleshooting steps using Azure CLI, Microsoft Graph API, or Bash scripts that work on Linux/macOS.
  • Include cross-platform instructions for connecting to Microsoft Entra ID and creating service principals, such as using az ad sp create or Microsoft Graph REST API.
  • Add notes clarifying that PowerShell commands can be run on Linux/macOS with PowerShell Core, or provide links to installation guides for non-Windows platforms.
  • Where possible, present cross-platform tools and examples before or alongside Windows/PowerShell instructions.
  • Review other troubleshooting steps for implicit Windows assumptions and add Linux/macOS alternatives where relevant.
